Materialist — текст песни (Bad Religion)

You`re obsessed and distressed `cuz you can`t make any sense
Of the ludicrous nonsense and incipient senescence
That will deem your common sense useless this ain`t no recess!
I want to believe in you but my plans keep falling through
I know I have to face the harshness, grin and bare the truth
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes (and I`m no fool!)
I`m materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist)
And I guess I`m full of doubt so I`m prone to hear it out and refuse
I`m materialist there ain`t no fear in this
It`s there for all to see so don`t talk of hidden mysteries with me
Mind over matter it really don`t matter
If the street`s idle chatter turns your heart-strings to tatters
Flatter hopes don`t flatter and soul batter won`t congeal to mend
A life that is shattered into shards was it in the cards?
The process of belief is an elixir when you`re weak
I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak
But generally my outlook`s not so bleak (and I`m not meek!)
I`m materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist)
And I guess I`m full of doubt but I`ll gladly have it out with you
I`m materialist I ain`t no deist
It`s there for all to see so don`t talk of hidden mysteries with me
Like Rome under Nero, our future`s one big zero
Recycling the past to meet immediate needs
And through it all we ramble forth to persevere and climb
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds
I`m materialist!
