Material Things
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
All I want is more than I need
The never-ending story of the nothing in me
When I look around it's outta reach
Look again that could be me
I've been trying to get to the top and still it's so hard to see
It's a wonderful world
And her eyes are like pearls
I got so much to live for it's more than I deserve
Like the sweet melody
That she gives me for free
Should be all that I need
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Who wants to be a millionaire
Yeah right we don't really care
Tell me I'm looking for love in the wrong place
In over my head and I see you there
Trickle down trickle where
I turn it up they laissez-faire
Been crossing the finish line over a million times
How come I'm never there
It's a wonderful world
And her eyes are like pearls
I got so much to live for it's more than I deserve
Like the sweet melody
That she give me for free
Should be all that I need
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things
Trying to be sane in the madness
I'm entertaining the masses
Too bad my material things
Don't be afraid of the sadness
'Cause I'm entertaining the masses
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer, I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer, I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
All I want is more than I need
The never-ending story of the nothing in me
When I look around it's outta reach
Look again that could be me
I've been trying to get to the top and still it's so hard to see
It's a wonderful world
And her eyes are like pearls
I got so much to live for it's more than I deserve
Like the sweet melody
That she gives me for free
Should be all that I need
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Who wants to be a millionaire
Yeah right we don't really care
Tell me I'm looking for love in the wrong place
In over my head and I see you there
Trickle down trickle where

Been crossing the finish line over a million times

Should be all that I need
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things
Trying to be sane in the madness
I'm entertaining the masses
Too bad my material things
Don't be afraid of the sadness
'Cause I'm entertaining the masses
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer, I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
Can't get my material things to make it
Better any longer, I wish I could be stronger
Too bad my material things keep on
Getting the better of me
Getting the better of me
