The Balance Lyrics

All these ideas keep swimming, running through your head
All these ideas keep swimming, running through your head
All these ideas keep swimming, running through your head
Ohhhh

Quick, we'll drown them with this fix
The dose to stop your shaking, the one to silence your voice
The dose to stop your shaking, the one to silence your voice

Just take it and you'll be fine
Calm, relaxed, obedient
Just the way we want you

Just the way we want you
Just the way we want you
Just the way, we want you

Your thoughts are ours to manipulate
Your actions are ours to control
Your opinions are a thing of the past
Your opinions are a thing of the past
So tilt your head back and swallow this
Your opinions are a thing of the past
So tilt your head back and swallow this

You've
Become
A real team player, a real class act
No one cares about your identity
Open wide, here it comes
This prescription makes you perfect
Open wide, here it comes
This prescription makes you perfect

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
