I'm leaving the wat. top buddhism no longer loyal
i'm breaking my heart
as my compassion to the third world turned to greed
bye, bye real mccoy, no ideals as if i was royal
now, i'm a material boy
there's nothing in the world i don't think i need
now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping
there will always be new stuff to buy
and i'll expand my needs somehow
i bought an imac and mouse, a phone to go with my new spirit
next step might be a house, six bedrooms and a pool just for me
i will live like a tsar, the beggers chant won't hear it
i'll have a boat, new tv and car
and in my mouth a fat cuban cigar
now i'm shopping, i'm not stopping
there will always be new stuff to buy
and i'll expand my needs somehow
i'll expand my needs somehow i swear
