The General's Boombox |
You were the razor edge poet |
From a punk lost generation |
Shaking off praise, so humble man |
Shattering expectation |
You’re relevant right now |
More so than you were yesterday |
Seventy-seven broke |
Your voice came charging through |
Was that changing of the guard |
Bearer of the new flame |
Begging what’s my name |
Who’s to blame |
We’re under complete control |
You taught us all when we were young |
To be true to ourselves |
You lit the fire in us |
And we play on in your trust |
A reluctant, poetic guttersnipe |
Beyond images and songs |
More than your memory carries on |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
You evolve with each new year |
You always push for change |
When you got called out |
You stood your ground and kept it tight |
Let the ragga drop |
Act like a cop |
When Bernie got in your head |
You sacked St. Mick |
Went on a walkabout and stayed true to yourself |
You lit the fire in us |
And we play on in your trust |
A reluctant, poetic guttersnipe |
Beyond images and songs |
More than your memory carries on |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
I remember the cold December day |
When I got the news |
I will never forget, I will never forget |
Found some guitars |
Broke up bars |
Chapter 11 |
Detroit Stars |
You boot it, you boot it, you boot it to full |
Can you hear that angry spirit |
In garages around the world |
From amplifiers, barrel fires, everywhere |
They sing it on, won’t forget |
You’re living on |
You lit the fire in us |
And we play on in your trust |
We’ll try to carry on the flame |
Do you right, boyo |
And if you listen close enough |
You can hear him in our songs |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
As the general’s boombox still plays on |
