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

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 posssibilities are there
And it's time for you to decide


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 $$#umed their name
