Description: LIKE These Version!Oke the sound ..but still..READ The Lyrics of "Lives in the balance" '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 ear You 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 war And 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 runs On the radio talk shows and the T.V. You hear one thing again and again How the U.S.A. stands for freedom And we come to the aid of a friend But who are the ones that we call our friends These governments killing their own? Or the people who finally can't take anymore So they pick up a gun, or a brick, or a stone And there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire There's a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flame Of the wars that are fought in places We can't even say the name They sell us the President the same way They sell us our clothes and our cars They sell us everything from youth to religion The same time they sell us our wars I 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 die And there are lives in the balance There are people under fire There are children at the cannons And there is blood on the wire!!!' Lyrics by Jackson Browne |

| mikehanoo33 ::: Favorites 2008-01-07 00:09:30 I love this song and the comic relief before the song , we gotta keep are sense of humor or we are all doomed , David Crosby reminds me of my uncle Marvin also a big funny man , that was such great line , because sometimes I think David does make up lyrics during certain parts of his career , he sounded great back in the mid 90's in mesa Arizona , You will always be one of my favorites , Jackson and CSN&Y !!! __________________________________________________ | |

| Unodosdom ::: Favorites 2007-12-06 14:32:51 henrygreiner,do you really believe that,or are you trying to sound provocative and knowledgable?JB has a great deal of talent, a sense of moral responsibility, and has used his music and lyrics to motivate people for years without selling out. __________________________________________________ | |
| jwblakeesq ::: Favorites 2007-11-30 22:35:23 Thank you for sharing this. I only became familiar with this song recently listening to JB's Acoustic album. As always, his music is moving. __________________________________________________ | |
