Dispatch - The General lyrics
There was a decorated General with a heart of gold That likened him to all the stories he told, Of past battles won and lost And legends of old A seasoned veteran in his own time On the battlefield he gained respectful fame With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face And always urged his men on But on the eve of a great battle with all the infantry in dream The Old General tossed in his sleep and wrestled with his meaning He awoke from the night just to tell what he had seen And walked slowly out of his tent All the men held tall with their chest in the air With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare It was a gray morning and they were all wondering how they would fare Till the old general told them to go home He said: I have seen the others And I have discovered That this fight is not worth fighting And I have seen their mothers And I will no other, to follow me where I'm going So Take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young and you must be living so Take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young and you must be living Go now you are forgiven Not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead, Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head He then prepared to fight He said: I have seen the others And I have discovered That this fight is not worth fighting No, I have seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me where I'm going So Take a shower shine your shoes You got no time to lose You're young and you must be living So Take a shower shine your shoes You got no time to lose You're young and you must be living Go now you are forgiven |
