Lyrics:
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 always urged his men on
But on the eve of a great battle with all the infantry in dream
The Old General tossed in his sleep and wrestled with his 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 chest in the air
With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a gray morning and they were all wondering 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 have seen their mothers
And I will no other, to follow me where I'm going
So
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young and you must be living so
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young and you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
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
He said: I have seen the others
And I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
No, I have seen their mothers
and I will no other
to follow me where I'm going
So
Take a shower shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You're young and you must be living
So
Take a shower shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You're young and you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
