[Verse]
Plane touched down, Cleveland, Ohio
I raised my collar to the cold
On the cab ride home, that song was playing
Don′t let me be misunderstood
Raised on soul and running hungry
Looking for a more perfect love
Rock 'n′ roll or God and country
Or just somebody to look at us
On the corner where you were laid out
Still half-smiling from the dream
There's a reason for the letdown
And that song means everything
Good intentions, better liars
History wears its bloody hand
I saw you last in late Septembеr
You were sleeping in your car again
Human kindness is ovеrflowing
Miss Simone made me believe
I just don't know where to go now
Let this whole place lie to me
On the corner where you struck out
In the echo of a scream
There′s a reason for the breakdown
And that song means everything
It′s just a song, quit your crying
There's man who fought so you could find it
Reaching out past their violence
Into some bright unknown
It′s worth the cost just to listen
That door was locked and now it isn't
An endless wall of televisions
And something bigger still unfolding
On the corner where you bled out
And the bells began to ring
There′s a reason for those bells now
And that song means everything
On the corner where you held out
For the future lives of kings
There's a reason for your death now
And that song means everything
