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 |
