100 Horses

All

People

All people must smile in times of war

General Smith told me

I would never smile again

He said that I would never smile again

But not to worry

For all people must stop smiling

Once they get what they've been begging for

All

People

In times of war must go to the circus

General Adams told me

"Son, you were born to die scared"

So he said, "One day you will die scared"

But not to worry

For all people must die scared or else die nervous

All

People

All people must go dancing

Out on the dancing floors

There were a hundred horses dancing

Maybe a hundred and twenty-four

All the horses must go dancing

There is only dance music in times of war

One-hundred horses

Danced up to me so freely

But we have danced for too long

We have danced for far too long

And now I must change completely

All people
