Lives In The Balance (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]

Written by：Jackson Bro[00:00:00]

I've been waiting for something to happen[00:00:14]

For a week or a month or a year[00:00:17]

With the blood in the ink of the headlines[00:00:20]

And the sound of the crowd in my ear[00:00:24]

You might ask what it takes to remember[00:00:27]

When you know that you've seen it before[00:00:31]

Where a government lies to a people[00:00:34]

And a country is drifting to war[00:00:38]

And there's a shadow on the faces[00:00:41]

Of the men who send the guns[00:00:45]

To the wars that are fought in places[00:00:48]

Where their business interest runs[00:00:52]

On the radio talk shows and the TV[00:00:55]

You hear one thing again and again[00:00:59]

How the USA stands for freedom[00:01:02]

And we come to the aid of a friend[00:01:06]

But who are the ones that we call our friends[00:01:10]

These governments killing their own[00:01:13]

Or the people who finally can't take any more[00:01:16]

And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone[00:01:20]

There are lives in the balance[00:01:23]

There are people under fire[00:01:26]

There are children at the cannons[00:01:29]

And there is blood on the wire[00:01:34]

There's a shadow on the faces[00:02:16]

Of the men who fan the flames[00:02:19]

Of the wars that are fought in places[00:02:23]

Where we can't even say the names[00:02:26]

They sell us the president the same way[00:02:30]

They sell us our clothes and our cars[00:02:33]

They sell us every thing from youth to religion[00:02:37]

The same time they sell us our wars[00:02:40]

I want to know who the men in the shadows are[00:02:44]

I want to hear somebody asking them why[00:02:47]

They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are[00:02:50]

But they're never the ones to fight or to die[00:02:54]

And there are lives in the balance[00:02:57]

There are people under fire[00:03:00]

There are children at the cannons[00:03:04]

And there is blood on the wire[00:03:08]
