The Balance

[Chorus]
We don’t always live in harmony (no we don’t)
And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
Huh)
I fight with you
You fight with me (all the time)
Tryin' to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That’s right)
(That’s right)

[Verse 1: Mr. SOS]
This is for the listener that wants something more
The lovers, the haters, the fans, the fighters of wars
And those that hope for a future similar to before
Cause this present’s gotta be taken back to the store
So start packing, cause we’re goin' back on the road again
And nobody ever knows when it ends
But when it does you can say you tried to achieve
A balance between the most beautiful things
And the worst ones
Cause when it gets bad the hurt comes
And makes you wanna crawl into a hearse and be done with it
But I figure that’s pretty dumb isn’t it?
I’d rather go out with a bang like Tony yelling ‘come get it’
Cause life’s a baton, you take it and you run with it
But not everybody’s gonna let another one win it
And so we fight and we fight
Trying to get the balance right
From the start until the end of your life

[Chorus]
We don’t always live in harmony (no we don’t)
And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
Huh)
I fight with you
You fight with me (all the time)
Tryin' to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That’s right)
(That’s right)

[Verse 2: Mr. SOS]
Love and hate, now there’s a thin line if I ever saw one
That’s why lovers usually hate each other when it’s all done
And emotions get intertwined when people get placed up on a pedestal
And you fight over somethin' minuscule
Like a drunk president ready to go to war
Over a dilemna that most would consider sorta small
Now if you think about it that ain't really smart at all
Especially when there’s a little baby girl involved
And this was the case with David and Heather
Everyone thought they’d be together forever, however
They confused love with lust
He should have known, she first said it when she happened to bust
Plus she shot her own foot to catch an honorable discharge
And she tried to say it was his fault
But they must, try to find a balance
Because this is the only way they can be parents

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Mr. SOS]
Yo..
Grab ahold of your britches, wake up and notice the sickness
We need a balance to survive, at the moment it’s shiftin’
And I don’t know how to fix it, I just know how to listen
Meet me halfway 'til I start going the distance
And if the main road is congested, then I’ma form a detour
Trying to find new places I’ve never seen before
As a child I climbed trees more
Now as a man I wanna be higher than the supreme court
But it would mean more just to have an even balance
I know it seems hard, but we need to be better at it
Cause even these stars that are over us need a balance
So do we, God. It’s gettin’ hard to breathe on this planet
An atmosphere lost, I don’t wanna see it happen
But it seems right around the corner like somebody mapped it out
So when it’s about time to reroute, time will be out
And I’ll still try to balance it out

[Chorus]
We don’t always live in harmony (no we don’t)
And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
Huh)
I fight with you
You fight with me (all the time)
Tryin' to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That’s right)
(That’s right)
