Material Boy lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love material but everything I love 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 stopped working for my sick soul
Under the pressure, I fold

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 sh*t
Can't tell the circle that the red has got me paranoid
Superiority keeps me annoyed
It bears repeating that I'm sick and I can't quit
No longer Christian, but I'm still afraid of judgement
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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)
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
(it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
