You're obsessed and distressed |
|
'Cause you can't make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense |
|
And incipient senescence that will deem your common sense useless |
|
This ain't no recess! |
|
I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through |
|
I know I have to face the harshness, grin and bear the truth |
|
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes |
|
(And I'm no fool!) |
|
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!) |
|
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 persevere and climb |
|
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds |
|
I'm materialist |
|
I'm materialist |
|
I'm materialist |
|
I'm materialist |
