Verse 1
The world we live in is a confusing place
The times were in within the human race
When you look back at how it used to be
Their was more of a thing called reality
The temptation of man influanced by TV
It's so materialistic is that the place to be
Ask yourself
Ask yourself


Chorus
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why


Verse 2
Are we the ones who make the world
Are we obsessed with the diamonds & pearls
Another magazine
Another false dream
Another way of life too false to lead
What is the world coming to
What will it be ten years through
Another way of life
Another passing by
Will it become more materialised


Chorus
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why


Verse 3
Tell me why this world that we're living in
Is so cold sometimes i feel like giving in
It's all about dividends and how much your spending
Never consider the outcome of the ending
Cause money can't buy you dreams
And dreams are real
Ask yourself one question what's real
In a world where money and jewels come first
Instead of buying the chains put the young ones first


You see i got to keep my hat low
To proceed with my game flow
Even though material worlds got me to lay low
I cannot say no I'm in this way of life
So all i wanna do is have things that seem nice
I know it seems mean sit back and follow dreams
Everyone must have one if not you ain't no human beings
It's just that living society shown just to get chicks and a big home
I don't know yo


Chorus
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why


Verse 4
I don't know why but mi see de ghetto youth dem a die
Mummy hold her head and cry
I dont know why
So i look to the sky and ask why
And still their is no reply
I dont know why
Tell me why
I don't know why
Tell me why
I don't know why


Chorus (Outro)
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why am i living a material world
Tell me why
