Dainty General Rides

There’s a man behind a desk
who’s never seen the sun
But He don’t care cuz while he’s
there, every new war’s fun
But everybody dont' feel sad
If you lose your friends be glad
That Uncle Sam’s your Dad and
You cannot be afraid
of his gold braid
When the Dainty General rides.
If you ever see the purple tree
that stands outside his door
He waters it twice and says «That's
nice» and then he plans a war
But everybody thinks it’s fine
So they all stand in line
He keeps them down in a mine
Where you cannot be afraid
of his gold braid
When the Dainty General rides.
Every day, Mothers say,
«Must my children fight?»
But they can’t sleep cause in the deep
someone will die tonight
And everybody owns a gun
They think that might is fun
You’re not the only one
And you cannot be afraid
of his gold braid
When the Dainty General rides.
When the day we hope to pray
someday he’ll retire
But he’ll just dream of the power scene
when everything’s on fire
With his bits of buildings on the ground
He’ll never hear a sound
He’ll be the only one around
And you cannot be afraid
of his gold braid
When the Dainty General rides.
No, You cannot be afraid
of his gold braid
When the Dainty General rides.
