On With Their Heads! Lyrics - Skyclad

Here's just a few of the changes I'll make 

when mankind appoints me king of Planet Earth 

So pass me my crown (my scepter and gown) 

Hear the first proclamation of Martin the I 

Leaders who lied so that innocents died 

pretending to cry, they beg for One's pardon 

Protest? (well they might) - when imapaled on spikes 

on the grounds that surround Buckingham palace garden 

If there is a world left for the meek to inherit, 

these bastards would bomb it the moment they get it 

Bogged down in a mire - lost all sight of their goals 

thought they gained the whole world - they've forsaken their souls 

"On with their heads!", I'm the clown prince of fools 

"if you don't get the joke it's your loss" 

Love and laughter you see are the new currency 

'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss

Preachers who teach us that god loves his children 

instruct us to pray - and then prey on our kids 

They'll not squeal with glee as the answer to me 

placed in coffins of offal - I'll anil down their lids 

There's still plenty of poisonous fish in the sea 

rich with more complexes than vitamine B 

If trawling for assholes you'll net a fine catch 

with skulls full of saw dust (well I've got the match!) 

"On with their heads!", hear my royal decree 

"shut your mouth" - "it could open your mind" 

What a chance there would be if someday we could see 

one-eyed man in this land of the blind 

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law 

and your ignorant bliss is high treason 

when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball 

cause the wise don't get mad they get even

"On with their heads!", I'm the clown prince of fools 

"if you don't get the joke it's your loss" 

Love and laughter you see are the new currency 

'cause greed's coinage is not worth a toss 

Crack-pot patricians - fascist politicians 

wheelers and dealers - big-shot money makers 

Mass redundancy down the frawd factory 

now notice has been served on all liberty-takers 

Those still unaware that a new age must dawn, 

shall wake with their necks on the block come the morn 

On my ferry to Styx everyone pays the toll 

it's time to rock the boat - empty heads start to roll 

"On with their heads!", hear my royal decree 

"shut your mouth" - "it could open your mind" 

What a chance there would be if someday we could see 

one-eyed man in this land of the blind 

"On with their heads!" now my word is the law 

and your ignorant bliss is high treason 

when the "thought-police" call for you, they will have a ball 

cause the wise don't get mad they get even
