Too bad my material things keep on Getting the better of me Getting the better of me Can't get my material things to make it Better any longer I wish I could be stronger All I want is more than I need The never-ending story of the nothing in me When I look around it's outta reach Look again that could be me I've been trying to get to the top and still it's so hard to see It's a wonderful world And her eyes are like pearls I got so much to live for it's more than I deserve Like the sweet melody That she gives me for free Should be all that I need Too bad my material things keep on Getting the better of me Getting the better of me Can't get my material things to make it Better any longer I wish I could be stronger Too bad my material things keep on Getting the better of me Getting the better of me Can't get my material things to make it Better any longer I wish I could be stronger Who wants to be a millionaire Yeah right we don't really care Tell me I'm looking for love in the wrong place in over my head and I see you there Trickle down trickle where I turn it up they laissez-faire Been crossing the finish line over a million times how come I'm never there It's a wonderful world And her eyes are like pearls I got so much to live for it's more than I deserve Like the sweet melody That she give me for free Should be all that I need Too bad my material things keep on Getting the better of me Getting the better of me Can't get my material things to make it Better any longer I wish I could be stronger Too bad my material things Trying to be sane in the madness I'm entertaining the masses Too bad my material things Don't be afraid of the sadness 'Cause I'm entertaining the masses Too bad my material things keep on Getting the better of me Getting the better of me Can't get my material things to make it Better any longer, I wish I could be stronger
