Material Boy Songtext
von Sir Sly

I love material, but everything I love′s so quickly falls apart
Keep it to myself and in my heart
And I'm only as sick as my secrets
So baby, tell me what is my weakness

I called the therapist, she sent me to a circle to sort it out
I′ve got my foot in my mouth
My medicine's stopped working for my sick soul
Under the pressure, I fold

And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
This is a spiritual world, I′m a material boy
I′m a material boy

Deeply American, which is to say I'm deeply ashamed
I wonder what the world would say?
And I′m probably sick from my secrets
Politically daft, but we're in deep shit


Can′t tell the circle that the red has got me paranoid
Superiority keeps me annoyed
It bears repeating that I'm sick and have to quit
No longer Christian, but I′m still afraid of judgement

And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
I′m a material boy

I filled all my pockets
Checked all the boxes
I couldn′t escape
Still find myself obnoxious

Prideful and godless
Selfish and thoughtless
Capital dream for material boy
That I went, and I lost it
I went and I lost it all


And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
(It′s a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
It′s a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
(It′s a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
