    Lyrics:
    Dispatch
  • The General
     
     
  • Verse 1:
    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 bravely urged his men on
     
    But on the eve of a 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 had seen
    And walked slowly out of his tent
  •  
    All the men held tall with their chests in the air
    With a courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
  • It was a gray morning and they wondered how they would fare
    'Til the old general told them to go home
     
  • He said
     
    Bridge:
  • 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,
     
  • Chorus:
    Take a shower and shine your shoes
    You got no time to lose, you're a young man you must be living
  • Take a shower and shine your shoes
    You got no time to lose, you're a young man you must be living
    Go now, you are forgiven
  •  
    Verse 2:
    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
    'Til 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
     
    Bridge:
  • 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,
     
  • Chorus:
    Take a shower and shine your shoes
    You got no time to lose, you're a young man you must be living
  • Take a shower and shine your shoes
    You got no time to lose, you're a young man you must be living
    Go now, you are forgiven
  •  
    Bridge 2:
    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
    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 be
    Yeah
