lyrics

We’re here to take the temperature of this divided nation
Please contradict each other, that’s much better for our ratings
If you’re in a mixed-race marriage or a card-carrying racist
Call in, we’ll bring you balance

Let’s speak to Trotsky on Line One, calling for a revolution
Oh Tommy Tommy on Line Two, who says “just line ‘em up and shoot ‘em”
Before the news and sport, Mick wants to bring back executions
We’re here, it’s clear, for balance

Our enemy is too much peace and quiet, So how loud can you be?
So long as we are not accused of bias or partiality

If a politician’s caught naked in front of little kids
Someone will call to say “well, that was fine back in the Seventies”
Like gymnasts on Olympic beams or a funambulist
We thrive, survive, on balance

A dinosaur expert is here to debate today’s big issue
With evidence of fossils and a T-Rex’s soft tissue
So we’ve found an angry creationist who can give us his view
Call in, we bring you balance

Text or tweet or ring in with your unverified stats
All we want is your opinion, who cares about the facts?

Peaceniks want to ban videos that teach us to make bombs
But we don’t want you to think that there’s a moral right or wrong
So our next guest’s in a suicide vest, oh everyone be calm,
It’s clear he’s here for balance

Everyone’s a pundit, In a hostile atmosphere
All reason is redundant, nuance is so last year

There’s a parent on the air who says her child has been taken
Talking to a man who once kept a whole family in his basement
Please hold, your fury will be heard we thank you for your patience
We’re here to take the temperature of this divided nation
Like an ice rink attendant helping toddlers with their skating
One of our greatest talents
Is being here for balance
