My favorite son Sent to the deep Stones in his shoes And hands tied And sleeping the long sleep Stand to my left It's the place of honor Strike the match through times of rain Maybe we won't swing So easy come, so easy go We sharpen sticks and we throw stones What a way to win a war What a way to fight a battle I've been faithful, general But I tire of this cause I'm with the beast That backs the birds Can't pick a side now I'm not sure This evidence I've heard When I see a love That croak it's tune There in it's palace I've fought self The future spinning run So easy come, so easy go Pull out that arrow, then let go What a way to win a war What a way to fight a battle I've been faithful, general What were we fighting for? ♪ What a way to win a war What a way to fight a battle I've been faithful, loyal, careful, general please What a way to win a war
