When The Generals Talk

Aaargh...
 Up there, up there, 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
 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
 He wants to win elections
 With a certain satisfaction
 The people are appeased
 Long live the revolution
 The general's very pleased
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
 When the generals talk
 You better do what he say
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
 When the generals talk
 You better do what he say
 Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
 The fat cats still push the thin cats around
 Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
 The fat cats still push the thin cats around
 Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground
 The fat cats still push the thin cats around
 Introducing the new general, introducing the new general, introducing the new general, Introducing the new general school of political diplomacy...
 If you disagree, you get annihilated
 Only trouble is, we haven't got many generals in Australia
 Well, General Motors
 General Credit Corporation
 General Insurance
 They're the worst generals of all you know!
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
 When the generals talk
 You better do what he say
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
 When the generals talk
 You better do what he say
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
 When the generals talk
 You better do what he say
 When the generals talk
 When the generals talk
 When the generals talk
 You better listen to him
