about

It's a material world

lyrics

Spare us the bluster of the mistrust
And the actress
The ageless and the aimless

Spare us the disgust of the furious
And the frivolous
The avarice and the bogus

Spare us the fortress of the furious
And the glamorous
The graceless and the anonymous

Spare us the harness of the heartless
And the grievous
The ambitious and the baseless

Spare us the bitterness of the crisis
And the blandness
The combativeness and the colorless

Spare us the bias of the famous
And the envious
The devious and the disastrous

Bring us the parade of the boundless and the curious
Bring on the bodhisattvas


Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About weight loss, whiter teeth, virtually and must read

Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About new & improved, number one, fake doctors and must see

Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About today only, order now and you also get

But wait, there’s more

Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About as seen on TV, more effective and limited time

Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About the more you buy the more you save

Forget everything that you ever knew, ever knew
About comes with a certificate of authenticity

Forget everything that you ever knew and go outside
Walk around and breathe

The Halcyon Brothers decorate the weight of the world in a charming and medicated disguise. The sound embraces with a clinched smile, and then stumbles and occasionally falls only to somehow prop itself back up for another round. ... more
