Material World — текст песни (Tracy Chapman)

You in your fancy
Material world
Don`t see the links of chain
Binding blood

Our own ancestors
Are hungry ghosts
Closets so full of bones
They won`t close

Call it upward mobility
But you`ve been sold down the river
Just another from of slavery
And the whole man-made white world
Is your master

You in your fancy
Material world
Create in your own image
A supreme god

Your virgin mary
Your holy ghosts
Claimed to be pure of heart
Have hands that are stained with blood

You in your fancy
Material world
Don`t see the links of chain
Binding
