Lives In The Balance - Richie Havens[00:00:00]

I've been waiting for something to happen[00:01:19]

For a week or a month or a year[00:01:22]

With the blood in the ink of the headlines[00:01:26]

And the sound of the crowd in my ear[00:01:29]

You might ask what it takes to remember[00:01:33]

When you think that you've heard it before[00:01:36]

How governments lie to their people[00:01:40]

And how nations are driven to war[00:01:43]

There are shadows on the faces[00:01:46]

On the men who fan the flames[00:01:50]

To those wars that are fought in places[00:01:53]

We can't even remember their names[00:01:57]

On the radio talk shows and TV[00:02:01]

You hear one thing again and again[00:02:04]

How the USA stands for freedom[00:02:07]

And how we come to the aid of a friend[00:02:11]

Well who are these ones we call our friends[00:02:15]

These governments killing their own[00:02:18]

Or is it the ones who can't take any more[00:02:22]

So they pick up a brick or a gun or a stone[00:02:25]

There are lives in the balance[00:02:28]

There are people under fire[00:02:32]

There are children at the cannons[00:02:35]

And there is blood on the wire[00:02:39]

There is blood on the wire[00:02:42]

There is blood on the wire[00:02:46]

There is[00:02:50]

There are shadows on the faces[00:03:11]

Of the men who send the guns[00:03:14]

To those wars that are fought in places[00:03:18]

Where their business interest runs[00:03:21]

I wanna know who these men in the shadows are[00:03:25]

I wanna hear somebody asking them why[00:03:28]

They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are[00:03:31]

But they are never around to fight or to die[00:03:35]

There are lives in the balance[00:03:39]

There are people under fire[00:03:42]

There are children at the cannons[00:03:46]

There is blood on the wire[00:03:49]

There is blood on the wire[00:03:53]

There is blood on the wire[00:03:56]

There is[00:04:00]
