♫Materialism♫

This... pretty much sums it up for me every time I look at it. I guess I'm looking in the gutter and seeing the stars reflected or the worst version of myself. I can do better. I know I can.

Here be lyrics=

Materialism is a darkness in the mind

It concentrates and presses

It wears pretty dresses

It gets hotter… the deeper that you go

Yeah, tell me... 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... tell me something I don't know

Materialism is a fire

Materialism is a grave

Materialism is a television

on the walls of Plato's cave

You can feel the pressure building,

It increases as you go

Yeah, tell me... tell me something I don't know

Materialism has a stable full of whores

They bump and grind together,

They party on forever

When you reach out for them,

They turn to smoke

Yeah, tell me... tell me something I don't know

Wall to wall at Walmart

The monkey wears a crown

He's calling on a cellphone

It's got a killer ringtone

It sounds like crackling bacon... on the grill

Oh, tell me... tell me something I don't know

Materialism is a fire

Materialism is a grave

Materialism is a television

on the walls of Plato's cave

You can feel the pressure building,

It increases as you go

Yeah, tell me... tell me something I don't know

Materialism is a darkness in the heart

It takes you from behind

While it occupies your mind

And this is what you get

From going with the flow

Oh, tell me, tell me something I don't know

It's filled with wraiths

It's filled with hungry ghosts

It's the ultimate calamity

That ends up in insanity

And pretty soon, there's nowhere left to go

Oh, tell me... tell me something I don't know

Materialism is a fire

Materialism is a grave

Materialism is a television

on the walls of Plato's cave

You can feel the pressure building,

It increases as you go

Yeah, tell me... tell me something I don't know

tell me... tell me something I don't know

tell me... tell me something I don't know
