Youre obsesssed and distressed
Cause you cant 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 know I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes
(and Im no fool!)
Im materialist
a full-blown realist
(physical theorist)
and I guess Im full of doubt
so Im prone to hear you out and refuse
Im materialist
There aint no fear in this
its for all to see, so dont talk of hidden mysteries with me...
Mind over matter, it really dont matter
If the streets idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters
Flatter hopes dont flatter and soul batter wont congeal to mend
a life that is shattered into shards
Was it in the cards?
The process of belief is an elixir when youre weak
I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak
but generally my outlooks not so bleak
(and Im not meek!)
Im materialist
Call me a humanist
(physical theorist)
and I guess Im full of doubt,
but Ill gladly have it out with you
Im materialist
I aint no deist
its there for all to see, so dont of hidden mysteries with me
Like Rome under Nero, our futures 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
Im materialist
Im materiliast
Im materialist
Im materialist (hold)
