Well, there?s a pain in my side that I keep traveling on   Bring peace to this troubled land   It?s dark out here, I can?t read those signs   Bring peace to the troubled land      Hurricane on the horizon   Judgment getting closer all the time   I can?t find tomorrow   Bring peace to this troubled land      Well, there?s two men a walking down the same dirty road   Bring peace to this troubled land   They stand shoulder to shoulder carrying the same heavy load   Bring peace to this troubled land      One man?s eyes are full of sorrow   The other man?s belly full of unbearable pain   They keep getting closer   Bring peace to this troubled land      I got many screaming children, ten million rows to hoe   Bring peace to this troubled land   Deader than a hammer but I can?t let go   Bring peace to this troubled land      The eyes of heaven are upon you   So is the soul from down below   They?ll cut off your fingers   To bring peace to this troubled land      Well, you can stand up and holler, you can lay down and die   Bring peace to this troubled land   We can turn up our collars and never even try   To bring peace to this troubled land      Beware of those who want to harm you   And drag you down to a lower game   Just know the truth is coming   To bring peace to this troubled land      I got a pain in my side but I keep traveling on
