<br></br>
Ive been waiting for something to happen<br></br>
For a week or a month or a year<br></br>
With the blood in the ink of the headlines<br></br>
And the sound of the crowd in my ear<br></br>
You might ask what it takes to remember<br></br>
When you know that youve seen it before<br></br>
Where a government lies to a people<br></br>
And a country is drifting to…

<br />
Ive been waiting for something to happen<br />
For a week or a month or a year<br />
With the blood in the ink of the headlines<br />
And the sound of the crowd in my ear<br />
You might ask what it takes to remember<br />
When you know that youve seen it before<br />
Where a government lies to a people<br />
And a country is drifting to war<br />
<br />
And theres a shadow on the faces<br />
Of the men who send the guns<br />
To the wars that are fought in places<br />
Where their business interest runs<br />
<br />
On the radio talk shows and the t.v.<br />
You hear one thing again and again<br />
How the USA stands for freedom<br />
And we come to the aid of a friend<br />
But who are the ones that we call our friends--<br />
These governments killing their own?<br />
Or the people who finally can't take any more<br />
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone<br />
There are lives in the balance<br />
There are people under fire<br />
There are children at the cannons<br />
And there is blood on the wire<br />
<br />
There's a shadow on the faces<br />
Of the men who fan the flames<br />
Of the wars that are fought in places<br />
Where we can't even say the names<br />
<br />
They sell us the president the same way<br />
They sell us our clothes and our cars<br />
They sell us every thing from youth to religion<br />
The same time they sell us our wars<br />
I want to know who the men in the shadows are<br />
I want to hear somebody asking them why<br />
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are<br />
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die<br />
And there are lives in the balance<br />
There are people under fire<br />
There are children at the cannons<br />
And there is blood on the wire Ft. Benning - SOA David Rovics music_0001.wmvtag:tulsapeacefellowship.ning.com,2012-06-11:2567841:Video:223972012-06-11T17:15:25.305ZTony Nusplhttp://tulsapeacefellowship.ning.com/profile/TonyNuspl
