The Wilderness

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

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

Am    Am       Am       Am   G    G
Jesus Christ was a pacifist

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

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

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

[Verse 2]
         Am              G        
They say life is one big road with
         Am        G
 lots of signs
G                                 
So when you're struggling for the 
Am             G                  
rock don't you complicate your 
 Am    G
mind
Am                G               
In this world there ain't no easy 
 Am      G
answers
Am                                
And you're never gonna get nowhere
G                         Am     
 if you don't take chances, oh 
    G
yeah
Am                          G
At the location one, Check nothin'
Am                                
People are goddamn greedy, and 
  G
I'll tell you something
Am                              G
I'll smash every window on your SUV
Am                             
What the hell do you need one of 
                      G
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                            
Another guy in the program from 
  G
Boston

       Am                Am
I like punk rock, I like reggae

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

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