lyrics

The General

i am well defended
with a squad of troops in place
and i wear that hockey mask
a dark grin on its face

i believe in violence
the anarchy of greed
no more frigging nanny state
just go grab what you need

they call me the general
i sell the gangs the guns
once i lay the boxes down
i promise we’re the ones

the bishop came to see us
with some hookers in a rolls
he counted out the money first
before he blessed our souls

i still read the comics
and then we bump and grind
only flies and rubble left
the bodies dumped behind

chorus

no one now’s a hero
raised pitiless and cruel
if you’re seeking haven here
my brother you’re a fool

they call me the general
i sell the gangs the guns
once i lay the boxes down
i promise we’re the ones
