Materialist Lyrics - The Process Of Belief - Bad Religion

You're obsesssed and distressed 

cause you can't make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense 

and incipient senescence 

that will deem your common sense useless 

this aint no recess! 

I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through 

i knoe i have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth 

and i have to walk this mile in my own shoes 

(and i'm no fool!) 

[chorus] 

i'm materialist 

a full-blown realist 

(physical theorist) 

and i guess i'm full of doubt 

so i'm prone to hear you out and refuse 

i'm materialist 

there ain't no fear in this 

it's 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!) 

[chorus] 

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 of hidden mysteries with me 

Like rome under nero, our future's one big zero 

recycling the past to meet the immediate needs 

and through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb 

our mountains of regret to sow our seeds 

I'm materialist 

i'm materiliast 

i'm materialist 

i'm materialist (hold)
