General Bacardi |
| I’ve seen it all before |
| Revolution at my back door |
| Well who’s to say it won’t happen all again |
| 'Cause the generals sip Bacardi, while the privates feel the pain |
| They talk from the screen and T.V. tube |
| They talk revolution like it’s processed food |
| They talk of anarchy from music hall stages |
| Look for change in colour supplement pages |
| They think that by talking from some distant tower |
| That something might change in the structure of power |
| They dream, they dream, never walk on the street |
| They dream, they dream, never stand on their feet |
| I’ve seen it all before |
| Revolution at my back door |
| Well who’s to say it won’t happen all again |
| 'Cause the generals sip Bacardi, while the privates feel the pain |
| Alternative values were a fucking con |
| They never really meant it when they said «Get it on» |
| They really meant, «Mine, that’s mine», can’t you see? |
| They stamped on our heads so that they could be free |
| They formed little groups, like rich man’s ghettoes |
| Tending their goats and organic tomatoes |
| While the world was being fucked by fascist regimes |
| They talked of windmills and psychedelic dreams |
| I’ve seen it all before |
| Revolution at my back door |
| Well who’s to say it won’t happen all again |
| Cause the generals sip Bacardi, while the privates feel the pain |
