Lyrics Spirits in the Material World (Live) - Sting

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 (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate, the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)

Where does the answer lie?
We're living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits in the material world (we are spirits in the material world)
We are spirits

We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits (in the material world)
We are spirits in the material
