Lyrics:

There's more besides the joyrides
Little house in the countryside
Understand, learn to demand
Compromise, and 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
(The fall)
It's almost predictable
(Almost)

Don't tend this way
Don't tend that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to the left
Back to the right
Twist and turn until you got it right

Get the balance right (4x)
Depeche Mode Get The Balance Right
