Lyrics

[Verse 1] The generals are born again (Born again, born again) The generals are born again, they're going to save the world Their armament is seeing right (Doing right, being right) Their armour of righteousness is going to save the world [Verse 2] They're sending in the cavalry (Cavalry, cavalry) The bugles and the banner-boys are waiting for the word The captain is a blind man (Blind man, blind man) A blind man is reaching for a terrible swift sword [Chorus] Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world [Verse 3] They'll put a stop to history (History, history) Cut through this confusion with the purity of steel For time is just a can of worms (Can of worms, can of worms) They'll blow away corruption when they break that seal [Chorus] Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world [Bridge] I'll never get to heaven no matter what I do I'll never be a blue-eyed boy although my eyes are blue And I will not work (And I will not work) And I will not work (And I will not work) And I will not work And I will not work for you (And I will not work) And I will not work (And I will not work) And I will not work (And I will not work) And I will not work And I will not work for you (Born again) [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I'll never get to heaven no matter what I do I'll never be a blue-eyed boy although my eyes are blue [Verse 4] A star is in the firmament (Firmament, firmament) A new star in the firmament, wormwood is its name Everyone will see the light (See the light, see the light) And though my eyes are shut I'll have to see it just the same [Verse 5] For peace to last a thousand years (Thousand years, thousand years) Prophecy has struck a match and held it to the fuse They're wheeling up the cameras (Cameras, cameras) They're timing Armageddon for the evening news [Chorus] Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (The generals are born again) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (Born again, born again) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (Doing right, being right) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (Cavalry, cavalry) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (Blind man, blind man) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (History, history) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again (Can of worms, can of worms) To save the world Born again (The generals are born again) The generals are born again To save the world Born again The generals are born again To save the world
