Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
[Verse 2]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
[Verse 3]
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
[Verse 4]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
[Verse 5]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
[Verse 6]
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
[Verse 7]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
[Verse 8]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits
[Verse 9]
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
[Verse 10]
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
