Generals

About Generals

"Generals" is a single by the Damned, released in November 1982 on Bronze Records. Like its parent album, it featured increased experimentation, with a piano-led sound and the addition of brass to the band's typical punk rock blend. The song followed the thoughtful material on the album, commenting on the true losers in war. The song was the band's last release on Bronze, who would drop the band when they hit financial difficulties. For their part, the Damned were never happy with the marketing they received, believing the label had no idea how to promote them. It would also be their last release with Paul Gray, who would leave the band on the eve of their 1983 tour. more »

 Struggling with Generals? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

big city all scratched out,revenge is not so sweet
once proud once so devout they're tired and they are weak
they came from east to west,counting up the cost
red star soon to arrive,they know that all is lost

(chorus :)

and only the wounded remain
the generals have all left the game
with no will to fight
they'll fade with the light
there's nobody left they can blame

what once was decadence,now's nothing but raized land
the end so imminent,big city's not so grand
they came they saw they conquered ,people hid in fear
they looted, raped and plundered angry russians bare

(repeat chorus)

reichstag,flies red flag, signalling the end
party now bad bad, suicide the end
there's some who think that golden years might lie ahead
no leaders anymore, in the bunker ,dead

(repeat chorus)

and only the wounded remain
the generals have all left the game
with no will to fight
they'll fade with the light
the whole world is going insane

The Damned

The Damned are an English rock band formed in London in 1976. They were the first punk rock band from the United Kingdom to release a single ("New Rose"), an album (Damned Damned Damned), to have a record on the UK music charts, and to tour the United States. The Damned later evolved into one of the forerunners of the gothic genre. more »
