Generals & Majors
"Generals and Majors" is a song written by Colin Moulding of the English rock band XTC, released as the first single from their 1980 album Black Sea. Moulding accordingly wrote the song as a satirical take on the phrase "oh, what a lovely war". The song charted in the UK single chart at No. 32 and No. 104 on the US singles chart, while reaching No. 28 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart. It was the first XTC single to chart in the U.S., and it also had chart success in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

They`re never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They`ll never come down
Till once again victorious
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy `less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah!
Like never before are tired of being action less
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors
Your World War 3 is drawing near
Generals and Majors ah ah!
They`re never too far
Away from men who made the grade
Out in a world of their own
They`ll never come down
Until the battle`s lost or made
Generals and Majors always
Seem so unhappy `less they got a war
Generals and Majors ah ah!
Like never before are tired of being in the shade
Calling Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling Generals and Majors, hey
Your World War 3 is drawing near, World War 3
Generals and Majors ah ah!
They`re never too far
From battlefields so glorious
Out in a world of their own
They`ll never come down
Till once again victorious
Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors
Generals and Majors
