Inoculated City lyrics
The soldier boy for his soliders pay
Obeys theeargent at arms whatever he says
The seargent will for his seargent's pay
Obeythe general order of the battle play
The generals bow to the government
Obey the charge you must not relent
What of the neighbors and the prophets in bars?
What are they saying in the publiz bazaar?
We are tired of the tune
You must not relent
At every stroke of the bell in the tower there goes
Another boy from another side
The bulletins that steady come in say those
Familiar words at the top of the hour
The jamming city increases its hum
And those terrible words continue to come
Through bras music of government hear those
Guns tattoo a roll on the drums
No-one mentions the neighboring war
No one knows what they're fighting for
We are tired of the tune
You must not relent
Combat Rock lyrics
The Clash song lyrics
I think you are missing a line. It goes from soldier to sargent to captain. I think it goes something like: The sargeant will for his sargeant's pay obey Captain Tilly to his dying day. Then it goes on to the general order of battle play.
Plus, I might be wrong here but I think the first line about the soldier, is that he is obeying sargeant Adolph, rather than the sargeant at arms, I dunno.
