Bad Religion - Materialist Lyrics
Youre obsesssed and distressedCause you cant make any sense of the ludicrous nonsenseAnd incipient senescenceThat will deem your common sense uselessThis aint no recess!I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling throughI knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truthAnd I have to walk this mile in my own shoes(and Im no fool!)[chorus]Im materialistA full-blown realist(physical theorist)And I guess Im full of doubtSo Im prone to hear you out and refuseIm materialistThere aint no fear in thisIts for all to see, so dont talk of hidden mysteries with me...Mind over matter, it really dont matterIf the streets idle chatter turns your heart strings to tattersFlatter hopes dont flatter and soul batter wont congeal to mendA life that is shattered into shardsWas it in the cards?The process of belief is an elixir when youre weakI must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneakBut generally my outlooks not so bleak(and Im not meek!)[chorus]Im materialistA full-blown realist(physical theorist)And I guess Im full of doubt,But Ill gladly have it out with youIm materialistI aint no deistIts there for all to see, so dont of hidden mysteries with meLike rome under nero, our futures one big zeroRecycling the past to meet the immediate needsAnd through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climbOur mountains of regret to sow our seedsIm materialistIm materiliastIm materialistIm materialist (hold)
