Well life is short   We spend all our time   Just fucking fighting my friend   Well a soul can't be bought   Not with a cheap rhyme   And I know that when I die   I'm gonna go down with the general   Up with the general smuts         Well I've been stuck in a hole   And it's dark down here   Every time I've thought I've seen the light   Well it just fades and disappears   Just fades and disappears   Just fades and disappears   Just fades and disappears         I've seen a face in the shadows   And I've said "how do you do?"   And I've been living in this horror show   Which just never ends   I'm gonna go down with the general   Back to the general smuts   I'm going down with the general   Up with the general smuts         Fades and disappears   I've seen a face in the shadows   And I've said "how do you do?"   And I've been living in this horror show   For much too long   I'm going down with the general   Back to the general   Down with the general   Up with the general smuts
