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" ?
