Dispatch – The General Lyrics | 10 years ago |
Good research, and I think in "general" (pun intended) you are spot on with the message. BUT, the imagery in the song doesn't match the Greek-Roman setting you claim.0 Specifically, earning military stripes, shining shoes, taking showers and guns on shoulders. I think it's just a made up situation (American Civil War-esque era) that teaches a lesson. Think The Beatles' "Rocky Raccoon" for example. |
