When The Generals Talk |
| 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’s talking insurrection |
| So the General has a purge |
| 'Cos he wants to win elections |
| With the certain satisfaction |
| That the people are appeased |
| Long live the revoluton |
| The General’s very pleased |
| Sitting on the fence both ears to the ground |
| The fat cats still push the thin cats around |
