MAJOR CORRECTIONS

Take the knobs away Replace them with chains

there ain’t enough water in the ocean to wash this away

I taste your sweat in my mouth I got that stench in my head

Am I scared of you Or are my boots full of lead

And you took something that wasn’t yours

You opened me up and you left me poor

And now you say you learned your lesson

But your minor mistake needs major corrections

I fill in the space ‘tween the wire and the ground

And you took a number between the dead ends and the hounds

They say you break it you bought it And I’m left holdin’ the bill

Why am I forced to watch you walk with the deal

And you took something that wasn’t yours

You opened me up and you left me poor

And now you say you learned your lesson

But your minor mistake needs major corrections

Up ‘til now you noticed nothing before

Now it’s so loud it’s deafening a roar

I powder the creases And grind down the days

And you’re out walkin’ the side walk Or circlin’ your cage

We’re performin’ a service It’s a duty to serve

There ain’t too much said about it And even less heard

It took the time between heart beats

Now it reads like some history book

And you stand so unaffected

And I’m the difference between shaking and shook

And you took something that wasn’t yours

You opened me up and you left me poor

And now you say you learned your lesson

But your minor mistake needs major corrections
