SONG: “When Our Belt Gets Pulled Real Tight”

Lyrics and Music: Walt Stewart / Copyright 2009 / Walt Stewart Studios

Maslow’s root Chakras

insist we survive

Surfing  chaos like a raptor

T-rex around the hive

Huntin’ strange attractors

Buffalo dressed all white

Eyes open widest when

The belt gets pulled real tight

Credit defaults, Count-in chickens

Or did the egg  get the nod  

Sent our house of sandycards

Diving like a Cod

Flying from rubble of

A falling green façade

Can’t call S.E.C.

Cause their the Vice Squad

Eyes fly wide open

When our belts get jerked real tight

I’m at tent city its stone soup again tonight

Can’t pay the doctor bills since the bank dropped their kites

They sold out my grandkids–where’s our Bill of Rights

EYE above Pyramid

Hollow as our Chest

Since Captain Jack and Burning Bushes

Sailed away like the rest

Sent the dueling spirals

And Darwin a new dawn 

Wallpapered book of faces

Texted on and on an’ on

Eyes fly wide open

When our belts get jerked real tight

I’m at tent city its stone soup again tonight

Can’t pay the doctor bills since the bank dropped their kites

They sold out my grand kids, who turned out the lite

Mayan hour glass is empty

Spring forward then fall back

Manic tribe of locust

Fighting for some PAC

Green Zeus we trusted

Left us an empty sack                 

Earth will survive herself

When our belt gets j-e-r-k-e-d real tight

Baby’s rock-in cradle

There’s  honey in the nest

How can we sustain her

Full ripe Breast

We are all in this web

T’was Nixon said it best

But Gaia plays Dominoes

Better than the rest

 Eyes fly wide open

When our belts get jerked real tight

I’m at tent city its stone soup again tonight

Can’t pay the doctor bills since the bank dropped their kite

They sold out our grandkids–where’s our Bill of Rights
