Bad Religion - Materialist lyrics

Album: The Process Of Belief (2002)

You´re obsessed & distressed ´cuz you can not make any sense
Of the ludicrous nonsense & incipient senescence
That will deem your common sense useless
this ain´t no recess!
I want to believe in you but my plans keep falling through
I know I have to face the harshness, grin & bare 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 going to have it out with you
I´m materialist there ain´t no fear in this
It´s there 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 & 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 call me a humanist (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 talk of hidden mysteries with me
Like Rome under Nero, our future´s one big zero
Recycling the past to meet immediate needs
And through it all we amble forth to persevere & climb
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds
I´m materialist!
