Wield The Spade Lyrics - Singles - Oysterhead

Barber, get this mirror cleaned 

I'm troubled by the face I see before me 

As you shave our nation's 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 

Wield the spade, ready the blade 

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 can not allow 

Some before the firing squad 

And some behind the plow, 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 nation's face keep a steady hand 

Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land 

Wield the spade, ready the blade 

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 can not allow 

Some before the firing squad 

And some behind the plow 

Wield the spade, ready the blade 

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 you're 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 

Wield the spade, ready the blade 

Sacrifices must be made 

Wield the spade, ready the blade 

Wield the spade, ready the blade
