Judie Tzuke -Lives In the Balance[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[00:00:44]

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

Where their business interest runs[00:00:51]

On the radio talk shows and the t.v.[00:00:55]

You hear one thing again and again[00:00:58]

How the u.s.a. stands for freedom[00:01:02]

And we come to the aid of a friend[00:01:05]

But who are the ones that we call our friends[00:01:09]

These governments killing their own[00:01:12]

Or the people who finally can't take any more[00:01:15]

And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone[00:01:19]

There are lives in the balance[00:01:22]

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

There are children at the cannons[00:01:30]

And there is blood on the wire[00:01:32]

There's a shadow on the faces[00:02:14]

Of the men who fan the flames[00:02:17]

Of the wars that are fought in places[00:02:20]

Where we can't even say the names[00:02:24]

They sell us the president the same way[00:02:28]

They sell us our clothes and our cars[00:02:31]

They sell us every thing from youth to religion[00:02:34]

The same time they sell us our wars[00:02:38]

I want to know who the men in the shadows are[00:02:41]

I want to hear somebody asking them why[00:02:44]

They can be counted on to[00:02:48]

Tell us who our enemies are[00:02:50]

But they're never the ones to fight or to die[00:02:51]

And there are lives in the balance[00:02:55]

There are people under fire[00:02:59]

There are children at the cannons[00:03:01]

And there is blood on the wire[00:03:05]
