The Wilderness

Lyrics

Check, test, 1-2, 1-2, alright Now the 20 is about religion - the opiate of the masses But when they talk about god They make him sound like a fascist Jesus Christ was a pacifist Half the shit they do in his name would probably make him pissed Yet they still hold out, with the same old line of bullshit Placate the masses, tap into their wallets How the hell can you tell me about the afterlife? You ain't been there, and - check - neither have I 'Cause morality don't need no goddamn government And the system that they run, I got no love for it So I dedicate my life to music And when it hits, you know I don't refuse it Man, I found my salvation here on Earth I roll the tape on my 24 track, church Somewhere around beyond this wilderness There's the salvation, I know Beyond the politics and troubles of this world There's the salvation, I know They say life is one big road with lots of signs So when you're struggling for the rock Don't you complicate your mind In this world, there ain't no easy answers And you're never gonna get nowhere if you don't take chances, oh yeah Check [?], check nothing People are goddamn greedy, and I'll tell you something I'll smash every window on your SUV What the hell you need one of those for living in the city? Just a simple guy with complex problems Like me vs. the system From Lakeview to Brocken Stop it? Not 'til I'm in a fucking coffin Another guy in the program from Boston I like punk rock, I like reggae And if you wanna talk about heavy metal, it better be from the '70s, not the '80s And when I get jacked you know it ain't on white powders Strictly [?] Lite and indica flowers Man, I'm just tryin' to get on, tryin' to make my way through This time I'll get it on And somewhere around beyond this wilderness There's the salvation, I know Beyond the politics and troubles of this world There's the salvation, I know There's the salvation, I know
