Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material.

Living In The Material World
Im living in the material world
Living in the material world
Cant say what Im doing here
But I hope to see much clearer,
After living in the material world
I got born into the material world
Getting 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
Met them all there in the material world
John and paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got richie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world
From the spiritual sky,
Such sweet memories have i
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I wont get lost
Or go astray
As Im fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the
Material world
From the spiritual sky,
Such sweet memories have i
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I wont get lost
Or go astray
While Im living in the material world
Not much giving in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world
Im living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
By the lord sri krsnas grace
My salvation from the material world
Big ending

Control
Control control
control control! !
Too many times a day
control!
Control the sleeping
time, the wake!
Control amount
of coffee, milk,
sugar intake!
Control breakfast,
lunch and dinner's time,
Also the calories
and vitamins to come!
Control your words
control your thoughts
control the sitting
straight out pose
Control own look
from head- to toes!
Forget not those
that count
the most:
Feelings! !
Control them!
Out not to let
controlling self
to not became a threat
to whom or what
to ask I wouldn't dare
right now, I wouldn't
even care..
No more control!
No keeping sane!
FREE! ! !
as the Wind who's
messing up my hair
I - Want - To- Be! ! ! !
Let others have control,
not me! ? !
Control..control control
control? !
Oh, pardon me! -bull s..!
I had enough:
-I'M OUT OF IT! ! !

Two Gunslingers
Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said I dont wanna fight no more
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, yeah what are we fighting for?
Im t akin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im takin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
Well the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told h is mrs.
Thats the last one of these gunfights
Youre ever gonna drag me to
Im takin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im takin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
Well the two gunslinge rs
Went ridin out of town and
Were never heard from no more
And there aint been a gun fight
For a long time, maybe never
But nobody knows for sure
Im takin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im t akin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah

Spirits In The Material World
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But its the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If its something we cant buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world

Time's Up
wake up, face the future
cause I feel I have to salute you
on the things that's goin on, in this world today
you can run, but you can't hide
you have to find your sense of pride
to let you know, that this world, will never decay
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today
brothers and sisters, grab a hold
there's a story solid as gold
we must try to stay alive
we must strive, and never slip away
where there's sunshine, there is rain
where there is joy there will be pain
we must move, m?--? move
we must move, and never decay
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today
yo yo my brother my brother
let me lay it on the downstroke
I want you to know that I will provoke
anything that life will bring
because within these words I have a antidote
the time is comin' for the song that I'm hummin'
to let you know it's later than it's ever been
your time is up, you sad faced clown
now here's da breakdown (da breakdown, da breakdown, da breakdown)
[sung vocals]
It is later, than it's ever been
the life you livin', try not to sin
it is later, it is later, it is later, than it's ever been
keep on movin', and grab a hold
the life you livin', must have control
we can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try
It is later, than it's ever been
the life you livin', try not to sin
it is later, it is later, it is later, than it's ever been
keep on movin', and grab a hold
the life you livin', must have control
we can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try
[spoken style]
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today

Love or Lust?
Is love living in reality or in poems and literature?
Or is love still alive in the material world of no time?
Business and pleasure take the lion's share in work
Motivated towards achieving goals to make profit.
Even poems are full of lust rather than love to cherish
To make mankind humane rather than animal in life.
But romance without love increases the longing of all
To lose everything one is supposed not to lose in duty.
Everything attractive in business provokes lust to lose
One's mind, money and energy in the time precious.
Mechanical life with animal heart makes life artificial
And natural life nobody knows to live and love indeed!
Intellect dominates instinct though nature controls still
Making life meaningless in the profit- loss material world!

Material Queen

Material queen
Small numbers
With strong characters
Proud like cunning cat
Fight in dirty land
Laugh at hard time
Living in man’s world
Tough as those boys
Act as dislocation

No Control
Stay away from the future
Back away from the light
Its all deranged - no control
Sit tight in your corner
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged - no control
If I could control tomorrows haze
The darkened shore wouldnt bother me
If I cant control the web we weave
My life will be lost in the fallen leaves
Every single moves uncertain
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged
No control
I should live my life on bended knee
If I cant control my destiny
Youve gotta have a scheme
Youve gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrows man
Stay away from the future
Dont tell God your plans
Its all deranged
No control
Forbidden words, they deafen me
In memories, Ive no control
See how a sinful man
Burns his tracks, his bloody robes
Youve gotta have a scheme
Youve gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrows man
I should live my life on bended knee
If I cant control my destiny
No control I cant believe Ive no control
Its all deranged

Material World
You in your fancy
Material world
Dont see the links of chain
Binding blood
Our own ancestors
Are hungry ghosts
Closets so full of bones
They wont close
Call it upward mobility
But youve been sold down the river
Just another form of slavery
And the whole man made white world
Is your master
You in your fancy
Material world
Create in your own image
A supreme god
Your virgin mary
Your holy ghosts
Claimed to be pure of heart
Have hands that are stained with blood
You in your fancy
Material world
Dont see the links of chain
Binding

Art of Material
Whether metal, whether polymer
Whether ceramic, whether composite
From nature, by research
Material is the world you hold
Whether unknown, whether common
Whether conventional, whether advanced
History conservation, nanotechnology
Material is the human’s play
Hard but brittle, soft but ductile
Manipulate structure, gain properties
Detect defect, the failure track
Material is the tool of living

Running Out Of Time
Just looked at my watch and I'm running out of time.
Best to attend to pertinent issues and forget the five and dime.
I'm usually so busy with routine chores of the day
That what really counts I miss or feel it's just in my way.
After work I was too tired for family with no strength to move on.
Now I sit with time on my hands, but with family long gone.
I spent my time gathering material possessions for all to see.
Now that time is running out I realize they mean nothing to me.
The two sided coin of time has helped me truly understand
That life is like a veritable desert of sand.
One side is love which will provide protection every hour.
The other is desire for material things sands of time will devour.

Time Is Runnin
Words and music by rick nielsen
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help all my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Here comes the night
Gone are the days yeah
When we could just sit here and talk for hours
Didnt have much to say
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Now everything seems so serious
We all had our fun in the sun
We all wanna take too much out of life
Fooling ourselves in the long run
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Tryin to beat the clock
It never stops tickin the time away
Tryin to beat the clock it
Never stops, never stops night or day
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
And my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Humanity
Human and humanity,
Where lies your conscience?
Inhumanity and ideas,
Why create conflicts?
You who inflict pains to those who disagree with you,
I have a story to tell you;
Life is all about us.
Morals and immoralities,
Where lies the positive values of life?
To the citadals of the world powers,
Why control everything out our hands?
With conflicts here and there without a control.
Life is all about us but,
We still have the shameful acts of evil among us;
In this life,
In this world,
In this games of life and death;
Some are very content when the majority go hungry.
