general smuts — The Libertines

Well life is short We spend all our time Just fucking fighting my friend Well a soul can't be bought Not with a cheap rhyme And I know that when I die I'm gonna go down with the general Up with the general smuts

Well I've been stuck in a hole And it's dark down here Every time I've thought I've seen the light Well it just fades and disappears Just fades and disappears Just fades and disappears Just fades and disappears

I've seen a face in the shadows And I've said "how do you do?" And I've been living in this horror show Which just never ends I'm gonna go down with the general Back to the general smuts I'm going down with the general Up with the general smuts

Fades and disappears I've seen a face in the shadows And I've said "how do you do?" And I've been living in this horror show For much too long I'm going down with the general Back to the general Down with the general Up with the general smuts
