Materialistic [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Materialistic
Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett

Throw your things
Out the window
Prove you're not materialistic

Listen to them
As they fall
On a passing circus midget

It's a matter of time
Before they huff
And blow your house down

Someone's knocking
At your door
It's the man with a subpoena
Legal fees
Bargained pleas
Wife and landlord both say see ya'

It's a matter of time
Before they huff
And blow your house down

You're on the street
Off your feet
Don't you miss your stuff

Interpretation

You throw your things out the window to prove to me that things don't matter to you, but someone got injured when they fell on his head, and now you really don't have anything because they took all your money and your house. Sweet irony!
