Material World - Tracy Chapman

    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
    Disk
