Material Things

I've mulled it over and over inside my head
 I don't know what drives some friends past the edge
 The education or the money or the family fame
 I feel let down learning of the drugs to hide the pain
 It always seems
 The grass is greener with Material Things
 From where I stand
 Life ain't much sweeter with Material Things
 I've heard it again and again through the family vine
 Of how heroin drove your life across the line
 The old addiction or the remorse or all the shame
 Its time for 12 steps back to be clean again
 It always seems
 The grass is greener with Material Things
 From where I stand
 Life ain't much sweeter with Material things
 ♪
 Back an forth six times in rehab
 Glad to know the very next visit held those demons at bay
 Now at home fight off a relapse
 Sad to hear the very next victim was your girlfriend today
 It always seems
 The grass is greener with Material Things
 From where I stand
 Life ain't much sweeter with Material Things
 It always seems
 The grass is greener with Material Things
 From where I stand
 Life ain't much sweeter with Material Things
