Jackson Browne's Retro -Relevant Lyrics |
|
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:yourock:
"Lives In the Balance"

2. That is one of my all time favorite songs. |

I'm hoping I can afford to go see Jackson Browne when he's in Omaha next month.

You otter print the whole song. Everything about it is prophetic and could have been written last week.

5. Jackson Browne has understood |
|
what was happening since the early 70's.
He says he was doing mucho cocaine in the 80's. Once he found out that the CIA and Daddy Bush's people were selling it to arm the Contra's he rewrote the lyrics to the old song "Cocaine". Wish I could remember them all, but I do remember this line:
I wouldn't do it, not for 1 more day If I knew it was coming from the CIA
Cocaine, going all around my brain.
