Jesus is on The Main Line - Aerosmith

Pernah menyangka grup rocker terkenal di Amerika akan menyanyi tentang Tuhan? Saya sendiri aja heran dan terheran hahahaha. Bukankah setiap band rock yang terkenal bakal memiliki segalanya dan tidak memerlukan Tuhan (some of YES and some of NO)? Amerika gitu lho, ketika sudah terkenal maka fulus akan berjalan sekencang-kencangnya ke dalam lumbung-lumbung. Penjualan CD, merchandising, hak cipta, royalti dan hak kekayaan intelektual lainnya bakal memberi fulus setiap sekian per sekian detik. Karya cipta sangat dihargai di sini sehingga setiap orang berlomba memunculkan kreasi untuk dipatenkan dan dijual. Cukup sampai di situ penjelasannya, soalnya susah menjelaskan rangkaian laba-laba fulus kalau sudah bisa memasuki ranah industri kreatif di sana. Saya juga belum seahli manajer artis dalam mencari sumber dan menghitung sumber fulusnya hahahaha.

Tapi ada yang beda di balik sukses dan jatuh bangunnya grup yang satu ini. Yaitu mereka masih bisa menulis lirik dan membuat menjadi sebuah lagu yang mengajak pendengarnya untuk tidak putus asa dalam hidup. Biasanya sih lirik yang mengajak mendewakan hal duniawi. Instead of it, ketika kita tidak bisa menolong diri sendiri bahkan saudara dan teman pun tidak mampu, maka

"Aerosmith dan kawan-kawan mengajak kita untuk memanjatkan doa kepada Tuhan."

Hahahaha (biarkan saya ketawa sedikit). Bukan mau mengejek, tapi ini buah keterheranan saya. So mari kita sekarang serius. Mari kita baca lirik tersebut.

"Jesus is on The Main Line - Aerosmith"

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want

Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
The line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
Call him up... and tell him what you want

Now... if you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want

If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want

If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want

Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want
