it's all whatever they are tryin ta sell (aheem...force down our throats) us at any given second. Reminds me of the Jackson Browne tune "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 youve seen it before Where a government lies to a people And a country is drifting to war
And theres 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 cant 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
Theres a shadow on the faces Of the men who fan the flames Of the wars that are fought in places Where we cant 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 theyre 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
So the real challenge is.....decide where & how they wanna spin 'n manipulate us & then react accordingly...so it's safe ta say that if we're being told the truth about something...it wasn't really an important topic ta begin with...lol
tell ya what....4x much more so than equities has really taught me & opened up my eyes to how the govts collectively control their masses....ie keep them as suppressed as possible at all times.
Thx for checkin in Elder...nice ta see ya surface here again....& all the other old school usual suspects...Relentless, Jester, et al....try not ta be strangers....really enjoy this sorta 'coffee talk' ;)~
