歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
There's a rumour in the ranking, someone's talking insurrection
So the General has a purge, he wants to win elections
With the certain satisfaction that the people are appeased
Long live the revolution, the General's very pleased
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 3]
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!
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
When the Generals talk, when the Generals talk
When the Generals talk, you better listen to him
