"I Don't Want To Be A General" lyrics

Oh-oh now
I said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh now
Sweet

You know, you know, you know, you know, you know
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Know, know, know, know, know (Yes)
That I don't try no be no general
To end up in a funeral
I don't try no be no general
To achieve only a burial
Oh no, Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yeah
Yeah, woah yeah, oh no

I say the race is not for the swift but for who can endure it
The race is not for the swift but for who can endure it
So you run like lightning, you crash like thunder, crash on there
Said, you run like lightning, you crash like thunder (Yeah)

I said you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
I said you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Yeah, said you know, yeah, said you know
Oh-oh bud, yeah, you know, woah-oh now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah now, yeah

And from the morgue to the cemetery
Take only the youth for no chemistry
From the morgue to the cemetery
Take only the youth for no chemistry

Said the rankings, they all get spanking
The rankings, they all get spanking
Top rankings, they all get spanking
Yes, rankings, they all get spanking
Pon the banking (Woah yes)
On the banking (Woah-oh now)

Said, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
Said, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know
That I don't try no be no general
To end up in no funeral
I don't try no be no general
To end up in a funeral
Oh no, Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yes
Oh no, hmm yes, oh no

And if you go buy a nuclear
And if you go buy a machine
And if you go buy [?]
I said you come from a wrong lane

Said, you can not be no general
You will end up in a funeral
You can not be no general
You'll end up in a funeral
Yes, woah yeah, oh yes
Lordee, Lordee, Lordee, Lord, yeah
Yeah, woah yeah, oh no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh yeah

Don't want to, don't want to be
Don't want to be no general, no general
Can not afford to be, no way
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no general, no general, no-no
No-no-no (Woah yeah)
No-no, can I, can I ever be
