Materialist lyrics
You re obsesssed and distressed
Cause you can t make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense
and incipient senescence
that will deem your common sense useless
this aint no recess!

I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through
I knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes
(and I m no fool!)

[Chorus]
I m materialist
a full-blown realist
(physical theorist)
and I guess I m full of doubt
so I m prone to hear you out and refuse
I m materialist
There ain t no fear in this
it s for all to see, so don t talk of hidden mysteries with me...

Mind over matter, it really don t matter
If the street s idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters
Flatter hopes don t flatter and soul batter won t congeal to mend
a life that is shattered into shards
Was it in the cards?

The process of belief is an elixir when you re weak
I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak
but generally my outlook s not so bleak
(and I m not meek!)

[Chorus]
I m materialist
a full-blown realist
(physical theorist)
and I guess I m full of doubt,
but I ll gladly have it out with you
I m materialist
I ain t no deist
it s there for all to see, so don t of hidden mysteries with me

Like Rome under Nero, our future s one big zero
Recycling the past to meet the immediate needs
And through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds

I m materialist
I m materiliast
I m materialist
I m materialist (hold)
