Oysterhead - Wield The Spade lyrics

rate me

Barber<br />

Get this mirror cleaned<br />

I'm troubled by the face I see before me<br />

As you shave our nation's face<br />

Keep a steady hand<br />

Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land<br />

<br />

Wield the spade<br />

Ready the blade<br />

Sacrifices must be made<br />

<br />

There are many fools<br />

Who dare propose imposing limits<br />

On my power<br />

Those ungrateful who've been swayed by<br />

Intellectuals in their ivory towers<br />

They will pay for crimes that God and I can not allow<br />

Some before the firing squad and some behind the plow<br />

Wield the spade<br />

<br />

Barber<br />

Get this mirror cleaned<br />

I'm troubled by the face I see before me<br />

Be careful not to miss a whisker<br />

Soon I face my people who adore me<br />

As you shave our nation's face<br />

Keep a steady hand<br />

Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land<br />

<br />

Wield the spade<br />

Ready the blade<br />

Sacrifices must be made<br />

<br />

Barber<br />

You've done very well<br />

Much cleaner now the mirror's telling no lies<br />

I know I'm not imagining the telltale glint of death<br />

I see in you're eyes<br />

I can't trust you<br />

So I must do something with my knife<br />

It's a shame to lose a damn good barber<br />

But that's life<br />

<br />

Wield the spade<br />

Ready the blade<br />

Sacrifices must be made
