Song | The General |
Artist | Dispatch |
Album | Under The Radar |
The Rifles-the general | |
When he was younger he could rumble like a hurricane | |
And leave you lying with a hunger for some novocaine | |
Hit the switch on the lights in a heartbeat | |
Just like your worst nightmare with a mean streak | |
But all the talent and the money's only gonna breed | |
Every King every Queen you're ever gonna need | |
And they'll be nothing of the man and the legacy | |
By the time that they get through | |
Every time you close your eyes you see your memory | |
'Boy you dream a lot' | |
Cause you're really not that man you used to be | |
When he was younger he could rumble like a hurricane | |
But now he stands out like a puddle in the pouring rain | |
Trying hard to chase an ever fading memory | |
Before the days of grace are never gonna be | |
So gather round and buy a ticket for the funeral | |
Bring your camera and flowers for the general | |
Sit around and reminise about the glory days | |
End | |
