I've been waiting for something to happen For a week or a month or a year With the blood in the ink of the headlines And the sound of the crowd in my earYou might ask what it takes to remember When you know that you've seen it before Where a government lies to a people And a country is drifting to warAnd there's a shadow on the faces Of the men who send the guns To the wars that are fought in places Where their business interest runsOn the radio talk shows and the TV You hear one thing again and again How the U.S.A. stands for freedom And we come to the aid of a friendBut who are the ones that we call our friends These governments killing their own? Or the people who finally can't take any more And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stoneThere are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wireThere's a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flames Of the wars that are fought in places Where we can't even say the namesThey sell us the president the same way They sell us our clothes and our cars They sell us every thing from youth to religion The same time they sell us our warsI want to know who the men in the shadows are I want to hear somebody asking them why They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are But they're never the ones to fight or to dieAnd there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire
Это интересно:Джексон Брауни известен как автор песен, хотя и сам начиная с 1972 года выпустил 13 студийных альбомов. К сожалению Брауни в отличие от Бонни Райтт, исполнившей множество его песен, так и не стал широко популярен.
А как ты думаешь, о чем песня "Lives in the Balance" ?
