Down in the corner of [B] ruin and grace, [A] I'm growing weary of the [E] human race.
[A] I hold my lamp up [E] in everyone's face, [B] looking for an honest man.
[A] Everyone's tied to [B] the turn wheel, [A] everyone's hiding from the [E] things they feel.
[A] The truth's so hard it [E] just don't seem real, [B] the shadows across [E] this land.
People around here [B] don't know what it means [A] to suffer at the hands of the [E] American dream.
[E] [A] They turn their backs on [E] the grisly scenes [B] traced to the privileged [Abm] sons.
Well, they [A] got their gun and they [B] got their guns, [A] they got their armies and the [E] chosen ones.
[A] But we'll all be burning in [E] the same big sun when [B] the great correction [E] comes.
[Gbm] Down through the ages, [Abm] lovers of the mystery, [A] bring sand, people, let your light [E] shine.
[Gbm] Poets and sages [Abm] all through history say the [A] light burns brightest in the darkest [B] [A] [Abm] times.
[Gbm]
It's a [E] bitter end we've [B] come down to, [A] the eye of the needle [E] we gotta get through.
The [A] end could be the start of [E] something new when [B] the great correction [E] comes.

Down to the wire, we're [B] running out of time, [A] still got hope in [E] this heart of mine.
