       D            A
You're obsessed and distressed

          E              F#           G
Cause you can't make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense

      D
And incipient senescence

          G                D        A
That will deem your common sense useless

                B
This ain't no recess!

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

  B              G                   A
I know I have to face the harshness, grin and bear the truth

      B                G               A
And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes (and I'm no fool!)
[Chorus]
      B
I'm materialist a full-blown realist and I guess I'm full of doubt

       D                 A       G
So I'm prone to have it out with you

      B
I'm materialist there ain't no fear in this

                              D              A    G       A
It's for all to see, so don't talk of hidden mystery with me
[Verse 2]
D         A          E            F#
Mind over matter, it really don't matter

       D             A                  E                B
If the street's idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters

G                                    D
Flatter hopes don't flatter and soul batter won't congeal to mend

  G            D              A
A life that is shattered into shards

              B
Was it in the cards?

    B            G          A
The process of belief is an elixir when you're weak

  B                G          A
I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak

    B            G                A
But generally my outlook's not so bleak (and I'm not meek!)
[Chorus 2]
      B
I'm materialist a full-blown realist and I guess I'm full of doubt

       D                 A       G
So I'm prone to have it out with you

      B
I'm materialist I ain't no deist

                              D              A    G       A
It's for all to see, so don't talk of hidden mystery with me
[Bridge]
     B          G         A
Like Rome under Nero, our future's one big zero

   B          G                   A
Recycling the past to meet the immediate needs

    B                 G                 A
And through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb

    B            G                 A
Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds
[Coda]
