There’s more besides joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand,
Compromise, sometimes lie
Get the balance right, get the balance right
Be responsible, respectable,
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring, help the helpless
But always remain ultimately selfish
Get the balance right, get the balance right
You think you’ve got a hold of it all
You haven’t got a hold at all
When you reach the top, get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall, you’re gonna fall
It’s almost predictable
Don’t take this way, don’t take that way
Straight down the middle until next thursday
Push to the left, back to the right
Twist and turn ’til you’ve got it right
Get the balance right
