The Wilderness

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

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

People are goddamn greedy, and I'll tell you something

I'll smash every window on your SUV

What the hell do you need one of those for - you're living in the city

I'm just a simple guy, with complex problems

Like me vs. the system

From Lakeview to

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

Man, I'm just tryin' to get on, tryin' to make my way through

This time I'll get it on.

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
