I love material things
Because they light up the emptiness around me
Nothing can hurt as bad as human beings
And so I'm best friends with these

I got the brand new Nikes on my motorbike
I take it up to ninety just to feel alive
I'll keep on riding 'till reality is out of sight
Ninety three, ninety four, ninety five

I bought a beach house so I wouldn't fall apart
Made a significant investment in a baseball card
Plastic and polyester filling up my broken heart
Finally I'm a real superstar

I love material things
Because they light up the emptiness around me
Nothing can hurt as bad as human beings
And so I'm best friends with these

My tamagotchi's always watching from his spot on the shelf
He probably knows me even better than I know myself
Lately he's really done wonders for my mental health
Now I'll never need anyone else

I just want gold hoops, gold rings, all my denim Japanese, please
Jet skis and limousines, I just need these bare necessities
To replace the empty space you left in me
When you crushed all my hopes and my dreams
I love material things
Because they light up the emptiness around me (light up the emptiness around me)
Nothing can hurt as bad as human beings
And so I'm best friends with these

Material things
My, my material things
Satisfaction guaranteed (nothing can hurt as bad as you hurt me)
And so I'm best friends with these
