Midnight Oil – When The Generals Talk lyrics
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 revealed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride
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
Cause he wants to win elections
With the certain satisfaction
That the people are appeased
Long live the revolution
The general's very pleased
Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
The fat cat's still push the thin cats around
He is speaking to the people
The people are responding
With clapping and a cheering
But the meaning of the message
Not revealed to those assembled
They're taken for a ride
Taken in his stride
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
Cause he wants to win elections
With the certain satisfaction
That the people are appeased
Long live the revolution
The general's very pleased
Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
The fat cat's still push the thin cats around
