Alan Prosser / Ian Telfer
Complete Music Ltd 1988

First released on:  Wide Blue Yonder, 1987

    
the generals are born again born again born again
the generals are born again, they're going to save the world
their armament is seeing right doing right being right
the armour of righteousness is going to save the world

they're sending in the cavalry cavalry cavalry
the bugles and the banner boys are waiting for the word
the captain is a blind man blind man blind man
a blind man is reaching for a terrible swift sword 

born again, the generals are born again to save the world I'll never get to heaven, no matter what I do I'll never be a blue-eyed boy although my eyes are blue and I will not work and I will not work and I will not work for you they'll put a stop to history history history cut through this confusion with the purity of steel for time is just a can of worms can or worms can of worms they'll blow away corruption when they break that seal a star is in the firmamen, firmament firmament a new star in the firmament, Wormwood is its name everyone will see the light see the light see the light and though my eyes are shut I'll have to see it just the same for peace to last a thousand years thousand years thousand years prophecy has struck a match and held it to the fuse they're wheeling up the cameras cameras cameras they're timing Armageddon for the evening news
born again, the generals are born again to save the world
