I've been waiting for somethin to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headline
and the sound of the croud in m ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to her people
And a country is drifting to war

Theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interests run

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 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
...
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

And there is blood on the wire
There are children at the cannons
There are people under fire
And there are lives in the balance
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
The same time they sell us our wars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us the President the same way
...
And there is blood on the wire
There are children at the cannons
There are people under fire
There are lives in the balance
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
Or the people who finally can't take any more
These governments killing their own?
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
And we come to the aid of a friend
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
You hear one thing again and again
On the radio talk shows and the T.V.

Where their business interests run
To the wars that are fought in places
Of the men who send the guns
Theres a shadow on the faces

And a country is drifting to war
Where a government lies to her people
When you know that you've seen it before
You might ask what it takes to remember
and the sound of the croud in m ear
With the blood in the ink of the headline
For a week or a month or a year
I've been waiting for somethin to happen

Popular Songs:
away in a manger

o ␜ do borogod

i wanne be the one you love

from the end of the world

on ira tous au paradis

how it feels

tonight i'll be lonely too

un petit peu amoureux

i believe

love me please love me

the spider

reaping the rich harvest

hacer el amor bailando

compaixo

nuisance

my baby packed up my mind and left me

last rider

bundle up

i'll go on alone

bedroom floor
