Jackson Browne - Lives In The Balance download song

Song Lyrics

Or the people who finally can t take any more, where we can t even say the names, they can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
Of the men who fan the flames, where a government lies to a people, to the wars that are fought in places
and we come to the aid of a friend
there are children at the cannons
For a week or a month or a year, and there is blood on the wire, you might ask what it takes to remember
Where their business interest runs, you hear one thing again and again
There are children at the cannons, and there are lives in the balance, there are children at the cannons
i want to know who the men in the shadows are

when you know that you ve seen it before
Stands for freedom, with the blood in the ink of the headlines, and there is blood on the wire
There are people under fire, they sell us the president the same way, these governments killing their own
but they re never the ones to fight or to die
Stands for freedom, and we come to the aid of a friend Browne, how the u.s.a
how the u.s.a
There s a shadow on the faces, you might ask what it takes to remember, there are children at the cannons
Or the people who finally can t take any more, and there is blood on the wire

I ve been waiting for something to happen, there s a shadow on the faces, i ve been waiting for something to happen
the same time they sell us our wars
and a country is drifting to war
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are, and there is blood on the wire Balance, there are children at the cannons
i want to know who the men in the shadows are
They sell us the president the same way, there are children at the cannons
