Cuttin’ Heads

Spy boy, lend me your tambourine

And I won’t bow down

Down on the dirty ground

Flag boy, lend me your tambourine

And I won’t bow down

Down on the dirty ground

We’ve got a Wild Man of the nation

He’s lord of the whole creation

But he won’t bow down

Down on the dirty ground

Down on the dirty ground

~~

Wild man, lend me your tambourine

Coz I won’t bow down

Down on the dirty ground

Big Chief, lend me your tambourine

Coz I won’t bow down

Down on the dirty ground
