The Great Correction

Down on the corner of ruin and grace
 I m growin weary of the human race
 hold my lamp up in everyone s face
 lookin for an honest man
 everyone tied to the turnin wheel
 everyone hidin from the things they feel
 well the truth s so hard it just don t seem real
 the shadow across this land
 people round here don t know what it means
 to suffer at the hands of our american dreams
 they turn their backs on the grisly scenes
 traced to the privileged sons
 they got their god they got their guns
 got their armies and the chosen ones
 but we ll all be burnin in the same big sun
 when the great correction comes
 down through the ages lovers of the mystery
 poets and sages all throughout history
 say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
 it s the bitter end we ve come down to
 the eye of the needle that we gotta get through
 but the end could be the start of something new
 when the great correction comes
 down through the ages .
 down to the wire runnin out of time
 still got hope in this heart of mine
 but the future waits on the horizon line
 for our daughters and our sons
 I don t know where this train s bound
 whole lotta people tryin to turn it around
 gonna shout til the walls come tumblin down
 and the great correction comes
 don t let me down
 when the great correction comes
