Sting - Spirits In The Material World Lyrics






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
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

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

We are spirits in the material world
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
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?
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
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
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 world

  1. M.... V....

    Stewie is God!!

  2. N.... ....

    Heard this in a hotel bathroom

  3. T.... Z....

    The Police was a great new band in the 70s. But this 1981 album was the beginning of the decline. The 1980s really sucked ass, and I believe the 1980swas the decade that killed rock n roll.

  4. A.... R....

    Estoy aquí por Chino Moreno

    A.... R....

    Ya somos 2 nn

  5. J.... M....

    Chino sent me

  6. b.... ....

    Chino brought me here.

    b.... ....

    Same haha

  7. R.... C....

    Spirits in carbon 666 6neutons 6 protons 6 electrons

  8. P.... L....

    The Mighty Police

  9. J.... W....

    Still one of my all time 80's faves!

  10. H.... ....

    My favorite Police song

  11. K.... K....

    🤘The police ❤❤❤

  12. l.... w....

    If it's something we can't buy....

  13. s.... r....

    Very much bob marley sounding

  14. J.... S....

    If we are as 'spirits in a material world', our will and needs don't count; we are as well as dead.

  15. P.... C....

    American Horror story Moment
    😉😉😉

  16. R.... L....

    Doing my Christmas shopping to this song as I type! #2019

  17. B.... ....

    Good bassline

  18. A.... A....

    666 backwards...

  19. A.... B....

    Brilliant chords, brilliant drumming, brilliant lyrics, EXCEPTIONAL bass line. All in all, one of The Police's greats.

  20. N.... L....

    Heard this song for the first time in the car the other day and what grabbed my attention was the synthesizer (i think thats what its called) now im hooked

  21. T.... ....

    What happens when the singer/songwriter composes this all alone on his portable demo/drum box. Then sometime later the guitarist and drummer hear it. And within only 15 or 20 minutes of that the song is rehearsed through 2 or 3 times AND recorded, as is on the album. "No time for love, Dr. Jones!"

  22. F.... F....

    This bass line drove me crazy when first heard it.

  23. J.... A....

    this cover album,was a revolution in 1980,a new decade...the rest,the music,i mean,is lowest quality than the three albums before

  24. L.... B....

    Or is it..... de Nile

  25. h.... s....

    Christmas 1981! Roger H great times that wil never be again

  26. I.... D....

    Amo essa música! =)

  27. j.... g....

    long lost way - stick figure somewhat sounds similar they’re both amazing songs

  28. S.... S....

    i am into this song!!!!!30 years still cooking

  29. J.... L....

    What unbearable crap this song is after listening to "When the world is coming down.....". Not even comparable. Like two different bands. What happened to them after Zenyatta?

  30. S.... E....

    l'album più bello.

  31. S.... G....

    Where were you in 1981

  32. j.... a....

    Missing ecological songs

  33. A.... S....

    I have too listen 6' 7' 8' 9 times to take in the leyrics' vibes and energy of the song.

  34. A.... S....

    I for one wish this song were a little longer.

    A.... S....

    Thank you andrew lauder.

  35. K.... T....

    Is no one going to talk about how the chorus is literally the Lick?

  36. S.... M....

    Great artists, each of them. Together, pop music history, and magic. The Police are one of the greatest.
