A Good Balance

 

RANDY

 

STOP THE PRESSES, I WAS WRONG

POSITIVE NEWS PROVES IT DOES BELONG

I WANT SOME INCLUDED IN EACH BROADCAST

MIXED WITH THE HARD NEWS FOR PLEASANT CONTRAST

WE’RE GOING TO MAKE THE NEWS OUT OF EQUAL PARTS, TRAGIC STORIES AND THE ONES WITH HEART

WHY IT’S THE BEST PAIRING SINCE NOAH’S ARK

WE’LL HAVE A GOOD BALANCE

 

CHORUS

 

A GOOD BALANCE

 

RANDY

 

IF A CERTAIN STORY MAKES VIEWERS SAD

WE’LL AIR ONE THAT’LL MAKE THEM GLAD

A MURDER ON MAIN

AND THEN SOME KEWPIE DOLL FAD

WE NEED A GOOD BALANCE

 

CHORUS

 

A GOOD BALANCE

 

RANDY

 

AS NEWS DIRECTOR I AM DUTIFUL TO CHOOSE THE STORIES THAT ARE SUITABLE

PITCH TO ME YOUR IDEAS

FIGHT FOR THEM WITHOUT FEAR

YOU’LL FIND THAT I AM ALL EARS

UNLESS YOUR STORY STINKS

GIVE THEM SCENES OF FIRE AS IT BURNS THE TOWN

SHOW THEM PUPPIES RESCUED FROM THE POUND

THINGS ARE NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THEY SOUND

WE NEED A GOOD BALANCE

 

Paul starts to sing

 

PAUL

 

I THOUGHT THAT POSITIVE NEWS ALONE COULD RID THE WORLD OF A BUNCH OF WOES

BUT MINDS WAS HURT BY WHAT WE DID NOT SHOW

I FEEL LIKE A BIG JERK

 

EVERYONE

 

BIG JERK

THERE MUST BE GOOD BALANCE

WE MUST PROVIDE IT ALL

IT CANNOT BE JUST POSITIVE

KNUZ MAY BE ALL THEY SAW

SO WHEN THE NEWS IS GRAY

THE SUN SHINES SOMEWHERE EVERY DAY

CHEERING AND INFORMATIVE IS OUR NEW NORMATIVE

AND WE’LL DO IT WITH GOOD BALANCE
