Down on the corner of ruin and grace I'm growing weary of the human race Hold my lamp up in everyone's face Lookin for an honest man Everyone tied to the turning wheel Everyone hiding from the things they feel 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 the 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 burning in the same big sun When the great correction comes
Down through the ages lovers of the mystery Been sayin' people let your love light shine 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 to the wire running 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 trying to turn it around Gonna shout til the walls come tumbling down When the great correction comes
Don't let me down When the great correction comes
