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  Their 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 of worms, can of worms  They'll blow away corruption when they break that seal  Born again: the generals are born again to save the world  A star is in the firmament, 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
