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 any more And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone 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 flames Of the wars that are fought in places Where we can't even say the names They 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 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 Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Nothing But Time, Of Missing Persons, On The Day, Our Lady Of The Well, Red Neck Friend, Rock Me on the Water, Rosie, Running On Empty, Say It Isnt True, Sergio Leone, Shaky Town, Sing My Songs To Me, Sky Blue And Black, Sleeps Dark And Silent Gate, Soldier Of Plenty, Some Bridges, Somebodys Baby, Something Fine, Song for Adam, Stay, Take It Easy, Take This Rain, Tender Is The Night, The Barricades Of Heaven, The Fuse, The Late Show, The Load Out, The Naked Ride Home, The Next Voice You Hear, The Night Inside Me, The Only Child, The Pretender, The Rebel Jesus, The Road, The Road And The Sky, The Times Youve Come, The Word Justice, These Days, Too Many Angels, When The Stone Begins To Turn, You Love The Thunder, Amsterdam, Au Suivant, Bruxelles, De Burgerij, Grand Jacques, Il Neige Sur Liege, Jaures, JArrive, Je Ne Sais Pas, Other Browne Jackson song Lyrics About My Imagination Lyrics Alive In The World Lyrics All Good Things Lyrics Anything Can Happen Lyrics Baby How Long Lyrics Before The Deluge Lyrics Black & White Lyrics Boulevard Lyrics Call It A Loan Lyrics Candy Lyrics Casino Nation Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Jackson Finch Lyrics Jackson Five Lyrics Jackson Five, The Lyrics Jackson Janet Lyrics Janet Jackson Lyrics Jackson Jermaine Lyrics Jackson Joe Lyrics Jackson Kristy Lyrics Jackson Luscious Lyrics Jackson Michael Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
