Bad Religion – Materialist Lyrics  Share

From Bad Religion's album: Process Of Belief

You^,re obsesssed and distressed
Cause you can^,t 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 knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes
(and I^,m no fool!)

[Chorus]
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?

[ Materialist lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/bad-religion/materialist/ ]
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!)

[Chorus]
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 perservere and climb
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds

I^,m materialist
I^,m materiliast
I^,m materialist
I^,m materialist (hold)
