Verse 1:
2
There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
3
That likened him with all the stories he told
4
Of past battles won and lost and legends of old
5
A seasoned veteran in his own time
6
But on the battlefield, he gained respectful fame
7
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
8
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
9
And always urged his men on
10
But on the eve of great battle, with the infantry in dream
11
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with it's meaning
12
He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen
13
And walked slowly out of his tent
14
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
15
With a courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
16
And it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare
17
'Til the old general told them to go home
18
Chorus:
19
He said
20
I have seen the others, and I have discovered
21
That this fight is not worth fighting
22
And I've seen their mothers, and I will no other
23
To follow me where I'm going
24
So
25
Now take your shower, shine your shoes
26
You got no time to lose
27
You are young men, you must be living, yeah
28
Now take your shower, shine your shoes
29
You got no time to lose
30
You are young men, you must be living
31
Go now you are forgiven
32
Verse 2:
33
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
34
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
35
The old general told he would do his own duty but he would extend it no further
36
You can go as you pleased
37
But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
38
'Til one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
39
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
40
He then prepared to fight
41
Chorus:
42
He said
43
I have seen the others, and I have discovered
44
That this fight is not worth fighting
45
And I've seen their mothers, and I will no other
46
To follow me where I'm going
47
So
48
Now take your shower, shine your shoes
49
You got no time to lose
50
You are young men, you must be living, yeah
51
Now take your shower, shine your shoes
52
You got no time to lose
53
You are young men, you must be living
54
Go now you are forgiven
55
Go now you are forgiven
56
Go now you are forgiven
57
Go now you are forgiven
58
Go
59
Go now you are forgiven
60
Go now you are forgiven
61
Go now you are forgiven
62
Go
63
Go now you are forgiven
64
Go now you are forgiven
65
Go now you got to, you got to, you got to, you got to, you got to be, yeah
66
Yeah
