The machine minded material man
desperately dreams of a brand new sedan
will he expect long lasting gain
from a toy that will race
then rust in the rain

Things break
when we use them
bones ache
as time goes on
thieves take
they want to get more
things break

The beauty queen cleverly clad
admires herself in a cigarette ad
will she admit that all was in vain
when the face in her mirror
cracks like a window pane

Things break
when we use them
bones ache
as time goes on
thieves take
they want to get more
things break

The policy pending political man
craves control of all that he can
what will he think of his power and fame
when the God of this universe
comes back again
