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
