The General [Live] - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

There was a decorated general with a heart of gold

That likened him to all the stories he told

Of past battles won and lost and legends of old

A seasoned veteran in his own time

On the battlefield, he gained respectful fame

With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name

He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face

And always urged his men on

But on the еve of a great battle with thе infantry in dream

The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning

He awoke from that night to tell what he had seen

And walked slowly out of his tent

All the men held tall with their chests in the air

With their courage in their blood and a fire in their stare

And it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare

'Til the old general told them to go home

[Chorus]

He said, "I have seen the others

And I have discovered

That this fight is not worth fighting, no

And I've seen their mothers

And I will no other

To follow me where I'm going

So take your shower, shine your shoes

You got no time to lose

You are young and you must be living, yeah

Take your shower, shine your shoes

You got no time to lose

You are young and you must be living

Go now, you are forgiven"

[Verse 2]

But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders

Not knowing what to do with these contradicting orders

The general said he would do his own duty, but he would extend it no further

The men could go as they pleased

But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead

'Til one by one, they stepped back and not a word was said

The old general was left with his own words echoing in his head

He then prepared to fight (Let's hear you, Boston)

[Chorus]

To follow me where I'm going

So take your shower, shine your shoes

You got no time to lose

You are young and you must be living, yeah

Take your shower, shine your shoes

You got no time to lose

You are young and you must be living

Go now, you are forgiven

[Outro]

Идите, вас простили

Идите

Идите, вас простили

Идите

Идите, вас простили

Идите

Go now, you are forgiven

Go now

Go now, you are forgiven

Go now, you got to be, got to be

Got to be living

You got to be living, woah, woah

You got to be living

You are forgiven, woah, woah (You go now, Beantown)

Woah, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo

Woah, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo (Alright, Beantown, you ready to go?)

Woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo

Woah, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo, woah-yo-yo

Thanks, y'all, thanks very much

Beantown

Thanks, Boston, we love y'all, peace

Yeah

Put your hands together for O.A.R. and G Love

All-state, all-state

It's the moment we've been waiting for here in Boston

Shout out to my, my, my new family in Milton, what's up, y'all?
