lyrics
Materialism is a darkness in the mind
It concentrates and presses
It wears pretty dresses
It gets harder, the deeper that you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Love is a strong power
That by nature sets you free
Fear makes separation
It's the whip-hand of the nation
It will drive you into slavery as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
CHORUS
Materialism is a fire
Materialism is a grave
Materialism, it's on television
It's on the walls of Plato's cave
You can feel the pressure, it increases as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Materialism has a stable full of whores
That bump and grind together, they party on forever
When you reach out for them, they turn to smoke
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Wall to wall at Walmart
The monkey wears a crown
It's calling on a cellphone
Got a killer ring tone
Sounds like crackling bacon on the grill
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
CHORUS
Materialism is a fire
Materialism is a grave
Materialism, it's on television
It's on the walls of Plato's cave
You can feel the pressure, it increases as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Materialism is a darkness in the heart
It takes you from behind
It occupies your mind
And this what you get
From going with the flow
Oh, tell me something I don't know
Spill this race
Spill with hungry ghosts
It's the ultimate calamity
That ends up with insanity
Pretty soon, there's nowhere left to go
Oh, tell me something I don't know
It concentrates and presses
It wears pretty dresses
It gets harder, the deeper that you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Love is a strong power
That by nature sets you free
Fear makes separation
It's the whip-hand of the nation
It will drive you into slavery as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
CHORUS
Materialism is a fire
Materialism is a grave
Materialism, it's on television
It's on the walls of Plato's cave
You can feel the pressure, it increases as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Materialism has a stable full of whores
That bump and grind together, they party on forever
When you reach out for them, they turn to smoke
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Wall to wall at Walmart
The monkey wears a crown
It's calling on a cellphone
Got a killer ring tone
Sounds like crackling bacon on the grill
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
CHORUS
Materialism is a fire
Materialism is a grave
Materialism, it's on television
It's on the walls of Plato's cave
You can feel the pressure, it increases as you go
Yeah, tell me something I don't know
Materialism is a darkness in the heart
It takes you from behind
It occupies your mind
And this what you get
From going with the flow
Oh, tell me something I don't know
Spill this race
Spill with hungry ghosts
It's the ultimate calamity
That ends up with insanity
Pretty soon, there's nowhere left to go
Oh, tell me something I don't know
