When The Generals Talk by: Oil Midnight

These are the lyrics for the song "When The Generals Talk" by "Oil Midnight" on the album "Red Sails In The Sunset"

Up there on the platform
He is speaking to the people
The people are responding
With clapping and a cheering
But the meaning of the message
Not revelaed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride

CHORUS
When the generals talk
You better listen to him
When the generals talk
You better do what he say

There's a rumour in the ranking
Someone talking insurrection
So the general has a purge
'Cos he wants to win elections
With the certain satisfaction
That the people are appeased
Long live the revolution
The general's very pleased

CHORUS

Sitting othe fence both ears to the ground
The fat cats still push the thin cats around

CHORUS
