Tighten Your Belt

Tighten Your Belt

Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Do your thing, show some trust
Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Have some faith, love your lust

Since the dawn of time, man's struggled to be free
Push him in a corner, he'll sting you like a bee
Money can't buy you love they say, but it buys a better beer
Put it away for a rainy day, turn around, it's disappeared

Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Do your thing, show some trust
Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Have some faith, love your lust

Keep the masses praying, blind faith in a higher being
Dream of 40 virgins, in the sands of eternity
Love our ma, respect your pa, is what their good book says
Wrap them in a loaded vest, another life just blows away

Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Do your thing, show some trust
Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Have some faith, love your lust

Yes I hear the message, reception loud and clear
"Toe the line, drink the wine, you have no need to fear"
But somethin' in my bones says, this bell ain't ringing true,
The Fall of Rome, the Stolen Ones, too countless to conceal

Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Do your thing, show some trust
Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Have some faith, love your lust

If we're moving forward, how come I'm standing still,
Can't ride a sheep's back no more, says the land of the Dollar Bill
Take away our monuments, no problem if you fail
A million dollar handshake will be your lifetime gaol

Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Do your thing, show some trust
Tighten your belt, Lift it up, Have some faith, love your lust
