Materialism is a darkness in the mind
It concentrates and presses it wears pretty dresses
It gets hotter the deeper that you go
Ummm tell me something I don't know
Love is a power that by nature sets you free
Fear makes separation. It's the whip hand of the nation
It will drive you into slavery if you go
Umm tell me something I don't know
Materialism is a fire
Materialism is a grave
Materialism is a television
On the wall 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
They bump and grind together and they party on forever
When you reach out they all turn into smoke
Tell me something I don't know
Wall to wall at Walmart the monkey wears a crown
He's calling on the cellphone. He's got a killer ringtone
It sounds like crackling bacon on the grill
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 yeah tell me something I don't know
It's filled with wraiths and hungry ghosts
It's the ultimate calamity that ends up in insanity
And pretty soon there's nowhere left to go
Uh huh tell me something I don't know
