Belt Lyrics

[Max Bemis]
I have to record the spoken-word introduction to the record

[Peter Bemis]
Still?


[Max Bemis]
Yeah. It's only a few lines, but I'm having anxiety about it

[Peter Bemis]
Do you know what it is?

[Max Bemis]
Yeah, it goes—

[Peter Bemis]
Good, so you don't have to write it

[Max Bemis]
It goes—

[Peter Bemis]
Oh, yeah, let me hear it

[Max Bemis]
It goes, "And the record begins, with a song of rebellion."
[Peter Bemis]
...that's it?

And the record begins, with a song of rebellion!

[Verse 1: Max Bemis]
I wouldn't sell my belt to industry
So they carded me, and they carted me off
Naked but that belt around my waist
It was my father's once
I still see his face


[Chorus: Max Bemis]
I said whoa, oh, oh, they carted me off
I said whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh, they carted me—

[Verse 2: Max Bemis]
But I managed to escape the good Gendarme
I fled through field and farm, stripped of natural charm
Naked but that belt I wear so well
P-p-p-past the pyramids, and the liberty bell


[Chorus: Max Bemis]
I said whoa, oh, oh, they carted me off
I said whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh, they carted me—

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
