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
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 its 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 assumed
their name
