Son Volt › Lyrics › The Picture

Hurricanes in December, earthquakes in the heartland
Bad Aryan decks on it's flashing warning sign
Bound for trouble, the picture's dirty
We'll know when we get there, we'll find mercy

Flotsam and jetsam in charge of the agency
The truth is twisted, in danger of dissolving
And war is profit and profit is war
We'll know when we get there, we'll find mercy

Certified minds, exacting its home
Trying to fit a square block into a round hole
Heart of darkness facing a thousand bloodshot eyes
We'll know when we get there, we'll find mercy

We'll know when we get there, we'll find mercy
We'll know when we get there, we'll find mercy
