"When the Generals Talk" - Midnight Oil
Up there, Up there, Up there on the platform, he is speaking to the people. The people are responding, with clapping and a'cheering. But the meaning of the message, not revealed to those assembled. They're taken for a ride, taken in his stride.
When the generals talk, you better listen to him. When the generals talk, you better do what he say.
There's a rumor in the ranking, someone's talking insurrection. So the general has a purge, he wants to win elections. With the certain satisfaction that the people are appeased. Long live the revolution. The general's very pleased.
Sitting on a fence, both ears to the ground, The fat cats still push the thin cats around.
