General
4
there was a decorated general with
5
a heart of gold, that likened him to
6
all the stories he told
7
of past battles, won and lost, and
8
legends of old a seasoned veteran in
9
his own time
10
on the battlefield, he gained
11
respectful fame with many metals
12
of bravery and stripes to his name
13
he grew a beard as soon as he could
14
to cover the scars on his face
15
and always urged his men on
16
but on the eve of a great battle
17
with the infantry in dream
18
the old general tossed in his sleep
19
and wrestled with its meaning
20
he awoke from the night
21
just to tell what he had seen
22
and walked slowly out of his tent
23
all the men held tall with their
24
chests in the air, with courage in
25
their blood and a fire in their stare
26
it was a grey morning and they all
27
wondered how they would fare
28
till the old general told them to go home
29
[CHORUS:]
30
I have seen the others
31
and I have discovered
32
that this fight is not worth fighting
33
I have seen their mothers
34
and I will no other
35
to follow me where I'm going
36
Take a shower, shine your shoes
37
you got no time to lose
38
you are young men you must be living
39
go now you are forgiven
40
but the men stood fast with their
41
guns on their shoulders not knowing
42
what to do with the contradicting orders
43
the general said he would do his own
44
duty bout would not extend it not further
45
the men could go as they pleased
46
not a man moved, their eyes glazed
47
straight ahead till one by one they
48
stepped back and not a word was said
49
and the old general was left with his
50
own words echoing in his head
51
he then prepared to fight
52
[CHORUS]
53
go now you are forgiven
