LYRICS:
I'm living in the material
world
Living in the material
world
Can’t say what I'm 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 won't get
lost or go astray
As I'm 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 won't get
lost or go astray
While I'm 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
I'm living in the material
world
Living in the material
world
I hope to get out of this
place
by the Lord Sri Krsna’s
grace
My salvation from the
material world
