Lives In The Balance - Jackson Browne[00:00:01]

Ive been waiting for something to happen[00:00:07]

For a week or a month or a year[00:00:10]

With the blood in the ink of the headlines[00:00:14]

And the sound of the crowd in my ear[00:00:18]

You might ask what it takes to remember[00:00:21]

When you know that youve seen it before[00:00:24]

Where a government lies to a people[00:00:28]

And a country is drifting to war[00:00:32]

And theres a shadow on the faces[00:00:35]

Of the men who send the guns[00:00:38]

To the wars that are fought in places[00:00:42]

Where their business interest runs[00:00:45]

On the radio talk shows and the tv[00:00:49]

You hear one thing again and again[00:00:52]

How the usa stands for freedom[00:00:56]

And we come to the aid of a friend[00:00:59]

But who are the ones that we call our friends[00:01:03]

These governments killing their own[00:01:06]

Or the people who finally cant take any more[00:01:10]

And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone[00:01:14]

There are lives in the balance[00:01:17]

There are people under fire[00:01:20]

There are children at the cannons[00:01:23]

And there is blood on the wire[00:01:28]

Theres a shadow on the faces[00:01:49]

Of the men who fan the flames[00:01:53]

Of the wars that are fought in places[00:01:56]

Where we cant even say the names[00:02:00]

They sell us the president the same way[00:02:03]

They sell us our clothes and our cars[00:02:07]

They sell us every thing from youth to religion[00:02:11]

The same time they sell us our wars[00:02:14]

I want to know who the men in the shadows are[00:02:17]

I want to hear somebody asking them why[00:02:20]

They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are[00:02:24]

But theyre never the ones to fight or to die[00:02:27]

And there are lives in the balance[00:02:31]

There are people under fire[00:02:33]

There are children at the cannons[00:02:37]

And there is blood on the wire[00:02:42]
