Material Boy - Sir Sly

Material Boy - Sir Sly 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 shit
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)
