Living in the Material World (Take 31)

[Intro]

One, one

One, a-two, a-buckle my shoe

[Verse 1]

I'm living in the material world

Living in the material world

Can't say what I'm doing here

But I hope to see much clearer

After living in the material world

[Verse 2]

I got born into the material world

Worn out in the material world

Use my body like a car

Taking me both near and far

Met my friends all in the material world

[Verse 3]

Met them all here in the material world

John and Paul here in the material world

Though we started out quite poor

Wе got Richie on a tour

Caught up in the material world

[Bridge]

From thе spiritual sky

Such sweet memories have I

To the spiritual sky

How I pray

Yes I pray

That I won't get lost or go astray

[Verse 4]

While I'm living in the material world

Not much giving in the material world

Senses never gratified

Only swelling like a tide

That could drown me in the material world

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

From the spiritual sky

Such sweet memories have I

To the spiritual sky

How I pray

Yes I pray

That I won't get lost or go astray

[Verse 5]

While I'm living in the material world

Living in the material world

Got a lot of work to do

Try to get a message through

And get back out of the material world

[Verse 6]

Yes, I'm living in the material world

Living in the material world

I hope to get out of this place

By the Lord Sri Krishna's grace
