Four Blank Slates - David Rovics[00:00:00]

Beside an unused union hall[00:00:06]

And an abandoned factory[00:00:09]

By the allegheny river[00:00:12]

In another rust belt city[00:00:16]

You can see the well dressed families[00:00:19]

On memorial day[00:00:22]

Reading the names on the walls[00:00:26]

Of all those who went away[00:00:28]

Who went off in a ship[00:00:32]

And came back in a bag[00:00:36]

Packed into a coffin[00:00:39]

Wrapped up in a flag[00:00:42]

I saw a war on every stone[00:00:45]

I read a name on every line[00:00:48]

And when I reached the end[00:00:53]

A chill ran down my spine[00:00:55]

Four blank slates[00:00:59]

For battlefields yet unknown[00:01:02]

That soon some will call their own[00:01:05]

A wordless message in a frame[00:01:08]

Four blank slates[00:01:12]

For the dice that aren't yet tossed[00:01:15]

For the lives that aren't yet lost[00:01:19]

For a war without a name[00:01:22]

What will be written on that stone[00:01:30]

Will it be on persian soil[00:01:34]

Will they say it was for freedom[00:01:37]

Or venezuelan oil[00:01:41]

The only thing that's certain[00:01:44]

Is it will be across the sea[00:01:46]

And the new names on this rock[00:01:51]

Will have died in someone else's country[00:01:53]

Four blank slates[00:01:58]

For battlefields yet unknown[00:02:01]

That soon some will call their own[00:02:04]

A wordless message in a frame[00:02:08]

Four blank slates[00:02:12]

For the dice that aren't yet tossed[00:02:15]

For the lives that aren't yet lost[00:02:18]

For a war without a name[00:02:22]

How many other nations[00:02:31]

Are already planning their next war[00:02:33]

How many people know[00:02:37]

It'll be on someone else's shore[00:02:40]

Will there come a time[00:02:45]

When all good people are enraged[00:02:47]

To see a slate awaiting[00:02:51]

A war that's not yet waged[00:02:54]

Four blank slates[00:02:58]

For battlefields yet unknown[00:03:01]

That soon some will call their own[00:03:04]

A wordless message in a frame[00:03:08]

Four blank slates[00:03:11]

For the dice that aren't yet tossed[00:03:15]

For the lives that aren't yet lost[00:03:18]

For a war without a name[00:03:22]

For a war without a name[00:03:29]
