BAD RELIGION - Materialist lyrics

rate me

You're obsesssed and distressed<br>Cause you can't make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense<br>And incipient senescence<br>That will deem your common sense useless<br>This ain't no recess!<br><br>I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through<br>I knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth<br>And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes<br>(and I'm no fool!)<br><br>[chorus]<br>I'm materialist<br>A full-blown realist<br>(physical theorist)<br>And I guess I'm full of doubt<br>So I'm prone to hear you out and refuse<br>I'm materialist<br>There ain't no fear in this<br>It's for all to see, so don't talk of hidden mysteries with me...<br><br>Mind over matter, it really don't matter<br>If the street's idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters<br>Flatter hopes don't flatter and soul batter won't congeal to mend<br>A life that is shattered into shards<br>Was it in the cards? <br><br>The process of belief is an elixir when you're weak<br>I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak<br>But generally my outlook's not so bleak<br>(and I'm not meek!)<br><br>[chorus]<br>I'm materialist<br>A full-blown realist<br>(physical theorist)<br>And I guess I'm full of doubt,<br>But I'll gladly have it out with you<br>I'm materialist<br>I ain't no deist<br>It's there for all to see, so don't of hidden mysteries with me<br><br>Like rome under nero, our future's one big zero<br>Recycling the past to meet the immediate needs<br>And through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb<br>Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds<br><br>I'm materialist<br>I'm materiliast<br>I'm materialist<br>I'm materialist (hold)
