| 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 season veteran in his own time. | |
| On the battlefield he gain 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 great battle with the infantry in dream | |
| The old general tossed in his sleep | |
| And wrestled with its meaning | |
| He awoke from the night to tell what he has seen | |
| And walked slowly out of his tent. | |
| All the men held tall with their chests in the | |
| With a courage in their blood | |
| And a fire in their stare | |
| It was a gray morning and they all wondered 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've seen their mothers | |
| And I will no other to follow me where I'm going | |
| So take a shower and shine your shoes | |
| You've got no time to lose | |
| You are young men you must be living. | |
| Take a shower and shine your shoes | |
| You've got no time to lose | |
| You are young men you must be living. | |
| Go now you are forgiven." | |
| Yeah... | |
| 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 extended no further | |
| The men could go as they pleased | |
| But not a man moved their eyes gazed strait ahead | |
| Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said | |
| The old General was stuck 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 and I've seen their mothers | |
| And I will no other to follow me where I'm going | |
| So take a shower and shine your shoes | |
| You've got no time to lose | |
| You are young men you must be living. | |
| Take a shower and shine your shoes | |
| You've got no time to lose | |
| You are young men you must be living. | |
| Go now you are forgiven." | |
| Yeah... | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go oh | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you are forgiven | |
| Go now you got to be got to be got to be got to be got to behave... |
