Mr. S.O.S. - The Balance lyrics

[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)
