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
 That doesn't mean you're a bad guy
 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 it's time for you to decide
 
 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, 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
 
 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
