General Bacardi Lyrics - The Feeding Of The 5000 - Crass

I've seen it all before, revolution at my back door 

Well, whose to say it won't happen all again 

'Cos the General's sip Bacardi 

While the privates feel the pain 

They talk from the screen and TV tube 

They talk revolution like it's processed food 

They talk of anarchy from music hall stages 

Look for change in color supplement pages 

They think that by talking from some distant tower 

That something might change in the structure of power 

They dream, they dream, never walk on the street 

They dream, they dream, never stand on their feet 

I've seen it all before, revolution at my back door 

Well whose to say it won't happen all again 

'Cause the General's sip Bacardi 

While the privates feel the pain 

Alternative values were a fucking con 

They never really meant it when they said, "Get it on" 

They really meant, mine, that's mine, can't you see? 

They stamped on our heads so that they could be free 

They formed little groups, like rich man's ghettos 

Tending their goats and organic tomatoes 

While the world was being fucked by fascist regimes 

They talked of windmills and psychedelic dreams 

I've seen it all before, revolution at my back door 

Well whose to say it won't happen all again 

'Cause the General's sip Bacardi 

While the privates feel the pain
