The Wilderness

                    Am     Am   Am   Am          G    G
Now the 20 is about religion - the opiate of the masses

               Am        Am       Am       Am           G    G
But when they talk about god they make him sound like a fascist

Am    Am       Am       Am   G    G
Jesus Christ was a pacifist

Am          Am           Am            Am                 G
Half the shit they do in his name would probably make him pissed

[Verse 1]
Am                                G
Yet they still hold out, with the same old line of bullshit
Am                        G
Placate the masses, tap into their wallets
Am                                     G
How the hell can you tell me about the afterlife?
Am                                   G
You ain't been there, and - check - neither have I
Am                                   G
Cause morality don't need no goddamn government
Am                                      G
And the system that they run - I got no love for it
Am                          G
So I dedicate my life to music
Am                                G
And when it hits, you know I don't refuse it
Am                                G
Man, I found my salvation - here on Earth
Am                             G
I roll the tape on my 24 track church

[Chorus]
C5         G5             A5          F5 G5
Somewhere out beyond this wilderness
C5            G5        A5    F5 G5
There's a salvation, I know
C5         G5             A5                   F5 G5
Beyond the politics and troubles of this world
C5           G5        A5
There's a salvation, I know

[Verse 2]
         Am              G                 Am        G
They say life is one big road with lots of signs
G                                 Am             G                   Am    G
So when you're struggling for the rock don't you complicate your mind
Am                G                Am      G
In this world there ain't no easy answers
Am                                G                         Am         G
And you're never gonna get nowhere if you don't take chances, oh yeah
Am                          G
At the location one, Check nothin'
Am                                  G
People are goddamn greedy, and I'll tell you something
Am                              G
I'll smash every window on your SUV
Am                                                   G
What the hell do you need one of those for, living in the city
           Am                  G
I'm just a simple guy, with complex problems
Am
Like me versus the system
G
From Lakeview to Brockton
Am                          G
Stoppin? Not 'til I'm in a fucking coffin
Am                              G
Another guy in the program from Boston

       Am                Am
I like punk rock, I like reggae

                 Am                                           G    G       G
And if you wanna talk about heavy metal it better be from the 70s, not the 80s

Am                                         G
And when I get jacked you know it ain't on white powders
Am                          G
Strictly Mickey lite and Indica Flowers
Am                          G                      Am              G
Man, I'm just tryin' to get on, tryin' to make my way through this armageddeon


[Chorus]
C5         G5             A5          F5 G5
Somewhere out beyond this wilderness
C5            G5        A5    F5 G5
There's a salvation, I know
C5         G5             A5                   F5 G5
Beyond the politics and troubles of this world
C5           G5        A5
There's a salvation, I know
C5           G5        A5
There's a salvation, I know
