Lyrics:
MATERIAL THINGS
turning to material things
to fill a void in my life
vainly hoping they could bring me
some kind of peace inside
but the more I get the more I need
I'm always shopping around
it could be loneliness and a little greed
finally it all gets me down
I'm coming around, oh lost and found
material things get in the way
eventually they fade away
material things accumulate
but they can't bring true love my way
material things used to be
the perfect means of escape for me
when I was feeling afraid or lonely
I knew that they'd always be there to console me
let me be what I believe
don't try to tell me what I need
when I'm over silver and gold
I'm left with my heart and my soul
I'm coming around, oh lost and found
material things get in the way
eventually they fade away
material things accumulate
but they can't bring true love my way
