1.	The General 02:29	lyrics	buy track
Shot comes down from the general Says "look alive boys coz tomorrow you go over the top" Smoke if ya got em' Ya better call your next of kin The fan is spinning waitin for the shit to hit For the reckoning to begin Fear is his sex when ya put it in context March for the general Show some respect Soldier tryna balance on a thin red line march for the general Clobberin' time If only mama could see you now she'd be so proud slap hand to mouth That boy's a lion too fierce to contain fight for queen and country Let freedom reign YEAH RIGHT!!! Are you willing to march for the general? Are you willing to march? are you willing to? Rooster crows for the killing alarm And the tears of the devil come a-raining down The time is now Young blood barbed wire Rolled snake eyes when you needed a six, a bulletproof vest and a crucifix Unprepared for what's about to transpire Your lease on life is about to expire Fear is his sex when you put it in context March for the female FUCK THAT! Genuflect! Soldier tryna balance on a thin red line March for the general Clobbering time! If only mama could see me now She'd be so proud Slap hand to mouth What happened when a lion get hit by a train? BOOM!! Fight for queen and country Let freedom reign YEAH RIGHT!! Are you willing to match for the general! Are you willing to march? are you willing to?
2.	The Town that Loneliness Forgot 03:42	lyrics	buy track
I was heading south on a dusty old steam train Learning gospel for beginners So I could put the word of god in to my mouth. You were sleepin in the subway coz you couldn't afford the fair You were ready to shack up with whatever mother fucker could get you out of there. I was sick of travelling always waiting for a little town to settle down in A town that loneliness forgot. Me and you my baby blue with no place to go and nothin else to do A little wooden house two kids and a dog Gettin older in a town that loneliness forgot. I was on my knees praying at the church in the land of the lost You were counting up your bruises I was polishing up my cross Singin John and Yoko wonderin who the hell could you trust Baby you've been bathing in a tub of your caustic tears so long you're covered in rust. I was sick of dragging Mary Magdelane to the little blue chapel Thought I'd give love that one more shot Me and you and the rumble in my gut Starting a fire in a wooden hut waiting to commit to a life long rut Wasting away in a town that loneliness forgot I was sick of travelling at way waiting for a little town to settle down in A town that loneliness forgot. Me and you and the rumble in my gut Starting a fire in a wooden hut waiting to commit to a life long rut Wasting away in a town that loneliness forgot Just forget about it
