[00:04.68]Lives In the Balance
[00:09.96]Jackson Browne
[00:14.42]I've been waiting for something to happen
[00:17.66]For a week or a month or a year
[00:19.49]With the blood in the ink of the headlines
[00:24.79]And the sound of the crowd in my ear
[00:28.11]You might ask what it takes to remember
[00:31.51]When you know that you've seen it before
[00:35.17]Where a government lies to a people
[00:38.17]And a country is drifting to war
[00:42.25]And there's a shadow on the faces
[00:45.51]Of the men who send the guns
[00:49.10]To the wars that are fought in places
[00:52.81]Where their business interest runs
[00:56.16]On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
[00:59.53]You hear one thing again and again
[01:03.17]How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
[01:06.63]And we come to the aid of a friend
[01:09.66]But who are the ones that we call our friends--
[01:13.70]These governments killing their own?
[01:17.22]Or the people who finally can't take any more
[01:20.68]And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
[01:24.07]There are lives in the balance
[01:26.95]There are people under fire
[01:29.74]There are children at the cannons
[01:34.89]And there is blood on the wire
[02:16.96]There's a shadow on the faces
[02:19.98]Of the men who fan the flames
[02:23.58]Of the wars that are fought in places
[02:27.02]Where we can't even say the names
[02:30.81]They sell us the President the same way
[02:34.36]They sell us our clothes and our cars
[02:37.80]They sell us every thing from youth to religion
[02:41.31]The same time they sell us our wars
[02:44.43]I want to know who the men in the shadows are
[02:47.81]I want to hear somebody asking them why
[02:51.35]They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
[02:54.92]But they're never the ones to fight or to die
[02:58.34]And there are lives in the balance
[03:01.16]There are people under fire
[03:04.41]There are children at the cannons
[03:08.90]And there is blood on the wire
