Material World by Tracy Chapman | lyrics[fix or update these lyrics]
You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding blood
Our own ancestors Are hungry ghosts Closets so full of bones They won't close
Call it upward mobility But you've been sold down the river Just another form of slavery And the whole man-made white world Is your master
You in your fancy Material world Create in your own image A supreme god
Your virgin mary Your holy ghosts Claimed to be pure of heart Have hands that are stained with blood
You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding
You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding blood Our own ancestors Are hungry ghosts Closets so full of bones They won't close Call it upward mobility But you've been sold down the river Just another form of slavery And the whole man-made white world Is your master You in your fancy Material world Create in your own image A supreme god Your virgin mary Your holy ghosts Claimed to be pure of heart Have hands that are stained with blood You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding
