The Balance
Steppenwolf

Nineteen-hundred-sixty-fournWe were kids, didn't know about the warnStill wasting time in schoolnThere were Joe and Sue, Jack and JimnnA couple more in the second stringnAll the rest just weren't coolnAh, we'd hang around in our little gangnHaving dreams, making plansnnFor the outside worldnBut when I see us nownI really find it strangenHow little, how much we've changednnIn the years gone bynI guess it's meant to be that waynJimmy always played the clownnIt was his way of hanging on to the crowdnnBut when he was down he'd come aroundnTo get his hands on every agent known to mannNo matter how from aspirin to zylatollnCrazy Jimmy tried them all nnAnd he was dying but now he's finenFor he gets up at five o'clocknRuns ten miles in the L.A. smognStill crazynnI've heard him say that anything worth really doingnShould be done until you're falling downnAnd though he left the road to ruinnHe's found a new way to the groundnnHe still ain't found his balancenJoe was never hard to pleasenWhen they said Go he went overseas into battlenHe stuck it out to the bitter endnnLived like a dog, fought like a man in the saddlenAnd when he came home from VietnamnThey said The war did him no harmnThey're lyingnnHe's known to cry and scream at times, in his dreamsnHolding off the nightmares that he seesnTime may heal the nightly screamingnBut the scars will still remainnnHe fights so hard to kill his demonnAt times the pain drives him insanenTrying to regain his balancenJack and Susie lost no tomennThey went to college and carried signs in the rallynAnd finally with cap and gownnThey tied the knot and settled down in the valleynOh but now they've got two little boysnnThe place is filled with broken toys and dreamsnFor it seems that Jack, in spite of his degreenMoonlights at night, in the factorynSusie's got the house and the childrennnBut no time for her to grownAnd Jack is making their first millionnAnd until they can't let gonI guess they'll owe the balancennWe don't talk much anymorenSeems our little gang is bored with callin'nAnyway we're too busy with gettin' onnAnd looking out for number onennIs all we got in commonnWith business, home, familynAre we ever all that we could be?nTrading in our fantasynnWe live this part time lifenOf false securitynSeems to me that doers never dream enoughnAnd dreamers often do nothing at allnAnd to find that middle ground is roughnnBut I'll be damned if I let gonStop looking for the balance
