lyrics

album: Black Sea
year: 1980
written by: Colin Moulding
length: 4 minutes 4 seconds

Generals and Majors

Generals and Majors —ah ah
They're never too far
From battlefields so glorious

Out in a world of their own
Download Black Sea sprite iconsThey'll never come down
Till once again victorious

Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy 'less they got a war

Generals and Majors —ah ah
Like never before
Are tired of being actionless

Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors
Your World War III is drawing near

Generals and Majors —ah ah
They're never too far
Away from men who made the grade

Out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
Until the battle's lost or made

Generals and Majors —ah ah
Like never before
Are tired of being in the shade.


This song always reminds me of growing up during the Cold War, with Reagan at the helm.
