Jaya The Cat – 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
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
