[00:00.47] Down on the corner of ruin and grace
[00:04.89] I'm growing weary of the human race
[00:09.26] Hold my lamp up in everyone's face
[00:13.86] Lookin for an honest man
[00:18.34] Everyone tied to the turning wheel
[00:22.74] Everyone hiding from the things they feel
[00:27.80] The truth's so hard it just don't seem real
[00:31.53] The shadow across this land
[00:34.96]
[00:36.40] People 'round here don't know what it means
[00:40.37] To suffer at the hands of the American dreams
[00:44.80] They turn their backs on the grisly scenes
[00:49.25] Traced to the privileged sons
[00:53.19] They got their god they got their guns
[00:58.10] Got their armies and the chosen ones
[01:02.38] But we'll all be burning in the same big sun
[01:06.46] When the great correction comes
[01:10.52]
[01:14.66] Down through the ages lovers of the mystery
[01:22.23] Been sayin' people let your love light shine
[01:30.27] Poets and sages all throughout history
[01:37.60] Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
[01:45.24]
[01:46.15] It's the bitter end we've come down to
[01:50.73] The eye of the needle that we gotta get through
[01:54.98] But the end could be the start of something new
[01:59.29] When the great correction comes
[02:03.63]
[02:40.40] Down to the wire running out of time
[02:44.13] Still got hope in this heart of mine
[02:48.50] But the future waits on the horizon line
[02:52.85] For our daughters and our sons
[02:57.35] I don't know where this train's bound
[03:01.74] Whole lotta people trying to turn it around
[03:06.15] Gonna shout til the walls come tumbling down
[03:10.36] When the great correction comes
[03:14.56]
[03:17.60] Don't let me down
[03:19.77] When the great correction comes
