The General- Dispatch w/lyrics
September 2nd, 2009 | by admin |
The General
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 respectable fame
With many metals 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 great battle with the infantry in dream
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its 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 chests in the air
With the courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
And it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare
Till the old general told them to go home
Chorus:
He said,
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
And I’ve have seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me where I’m going
So, take your shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Take your shower, shine your shoes
Well, you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The general said he would do his own duty
But he would extend it no further
The men could go as they pleased
But 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
Chorus
He said,
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
And I’ve have seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me where I’m going
So, take your shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Take your shower, shine your shoes
Well, you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven

I did not – at any …
I did not – at any point – attempt to divulge any “musical knowledge”. I merely voiced my opinion, which is what the “Comment” box is for. now, before I get some more hate mail from people telling me that I shouldn’t be coming here just to abuse songs I don’t like, I wish to say that I was told to listen to it. Being (for YouTube) uncharacteristically broad-minded, I did so and then afterwards let others know what I thought. This also means that the person who asked me to hear can see my opinion

You sound like my ing music teacher dude if you really really really wanna use words like “rhythm” or ” Systemic tempo” by all means go take a music theory class. Maybe you’ll learn something about “music”.

Excuse me? I did …
Excuse me? I did not dismiss the song at all: indeed, did I not compliment (albeit rather lightly) the lyrics? I did not at any point reference any other song, nor do I see how commenting in such a way makes me a loser. I find it interesting how you seem aware of capital letters, yet do not use one at the start of your comment. So little time, so many people to “loserify”, perhaps…

While not a bad song – lyrically – it sounds like a group of seizure-prone people in front of a strobe light came up with the “rhythm”…
