Wield the Spade |
| Barber |
| Get this mirror cleaned |
| I’m troubled by the face I see before me |
| As we shave our nations face |
| Keep a steady hand |
| Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land |
| Wield the Spade |
| Ready the blade |
| Sacrifices must be made |
| There are many fools who dare propose imposing limits on my power |
| Those ungrateful who’ve been swayed by intellectuals in their ivory towers |
| They will pay for crimes that God and I will not allow |
| Some before the firing squad and some behind the plough |
| Wield the spade |
| Barber |
| Get this mirror cleaned |
| I’m troubled by the face I see before me |
| Be careful not to miss a whisker |
| Soon I face my people who adore me |
| As you shave our nations face |
| Keep a steady hand |
| Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land |
| Wield the spade |
| Ready the blade |
| Sacrifices must be made |
| Barber |
| You’ve done very well |
| Much cleaner now |
| The mirror’s telling no lies |
| I know I’m not imagining the telltale glint of death I see in your eyes |
| I can’t trust you |
| So I must do something with my knife |
| It’s a shame to lose a damn good barber |
| But that’s life |
| Wield the spade |
| Ready the blade |
| Sacrifices must be made |
