General Smuts Lyrics - Singles - 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
