lyrics

There’s a lack of balance in the world
The scales are tipped to the absurd

Your creditor is on the phone
So work your fingers to the bone
You’ll feel your world has ended when he’s done

The deal you signed said ‘easy pay’
Who reads the small print anyway?
Now he’s calling in the loan
He wants your car he wants your home
His salary’s the same number as his phone

A lack of balance in the air
There should be trouble
But who has the time to care?
Some will have more
Some will have none
Some will spend their lives on the run

You’d better work you’d better not sleep
Or try your luck out in the street

Cos tears don’t pay your rent arrears
Or all the debt from early years
And stress and pills don’t wipe away the deal

A lack of balance in the air
There should be trouble
But who has the time to care?
Some will have more
Some will have none
Some will spend their lives on the run

Lack of balance
Lack of balance
Lack of balance
Lack of balance

Gone is the raven,
a-crying to the trees
Gone is the prophet
The principle and priest
Gone is the promise
of everlasting peace
Love has been burned up
It’s churned up and deceased

There’s a lack of balance in this world
The scales are tipped to the absurd
Burn down the house to keep it warm
Sell your one coat to beat the storm

These are accounts you never see
The price is more than just the fee
The days that finally drain your life away

A lack of balance in the air
There should be trouble
But who has the time to care?
Some will have more
Some will have none
Some will spend their lives on the run
