Artist/Band: Tracy Chapman
Lyrics for Song: Material World
Lyrics for Album: Crossroads [1989]



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
