General Joy
General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there
Where your boys were left behind
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl
Now they have liberty gagged
By boat, by tram, by motorbus
Could it be the fates are protecting us
From the hawks that have stolen the bird from the sky
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
General Joy, it seems you don't love your bride
That doesn't mean you're a bad guy
Generally you're friends but she is not the love of your life
To dye, to perm, to change your hair
Or your wife, the possibilities are there
And it's time for you to decide
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there
But you'll need strength from within
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl
And a willing coalition
By boat, by tram, by motorbus
Could it be the hawks are protecting us
From the men who have now assumed their name
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
Where your boys were left behind
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl
Now they have liberty gagged
By boat, by tram, by motorbus
Could it be the fates are protecting us
From the hawks that have stolen the bird from the sky
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
General Joy, it seems you don't love your bride
That doesn't mean you're a bad guy
Generally you're friends but she is not the love of your life
To dye, to perm, to change your hair
Or your wife, the possibilities are there
And it's time for you to decide
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
General Joy, I know, I know you'll take me there
But you'll need strength from within
General Joy, it seems you need a soldier girl
And a willing coalition
By boat, by tram, by motorbus
Could it be the hawks are protecting us
From the men who have now assumed their name
And I know you will always love sorrow
Is that why you gave her dress to happiness
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
'Cause it matches her eyes when she cries
