Material God
Lyrics: Tony Avila
Music: Tony Avila & Dave Phillips

This is the drug we’re all addicted to,
fiending we must have more
People lie, cheat and kill they’ll kill you to get their hands on more

Brother against brother in the race to get their hands on more
The amount you have is how you are judged; this is how you are perceived

The material god
Bow down before your god

Personal health and well-being is increased when you have more
Those who have less hold a grudge they hold a grudge against you
When you have some you feel good like you are on top of the world
When you are out you are down constantly searching, repeatedly searching for

The material god
Bow down before your god

A third of our day or more is spent
Our civilization revolves around the chase
You’re bigger, you’re better, you matter, no more laugher

People take notice of you and your new new identity
We become addicts, all that matters is how much you make
As our tolerance builds we feel temporary satisfaction

The material god
Bow down before your god

Money is worshipped more than any god

All time is spent trying to obtain more
Do you know your god?
