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
