I wouldn't sell my belt to industry

so they carded me and they carted me off

naked with that belt around my waist

it was my father's once, I still see his face



I say woah oh oh, they carted me off

I say woah oh oh oh oh, they carded me



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

Past the pyramids and the liberty bell



I say woah oh oh, they carted me off

I say woah oh oh oh oh, they carded me



Hey, this is something I have to do for myself

yeah, this is something I have to do for myself

I have to for myself, I have to for myself (yeah, yeah)



I ignored the sheep and shepards on my way

what can their small words say when they say them that way

Bathed in sweat, feathered as a crow

I laid a beating on the sleet and snow with my frostbitten toes

I remained unrecongized in my hometown

beneath my monstrous gown of feather and down

but I gathered up an army made of those

who aimed to shake them from their repose



and we took up weapons yeah

and we took off our clothes

and we took up weapons yeah

and we took off our....



hey, this is something I have to do for myself

yeah, this is something I have to do for myself

I have to for myself, I have to for myself (yeah)
