Lyrics for The Balance

All these ideas keep swimming, running through your head. Quick, we'll drown them with this fix. 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. Your thoughts are ours to manipulate. Your actions are ours to control. 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.
