Story behind the song
Inspired by the 1960's TV show 'The Prisoner', The General was a machine built supposedly to teach at speed but was a mind control mechanism
Lyrics
I can teach you what you need As long as you don't mind the speed Watch the hypnotising feed You're not too old to learn Your life can take that turn Takes just a minute to return I'm General, I know all Obey me or die I'll answer your questions But don't ask me why You'll think that you have learnt it all But of your mind we have control You'll be dancing to our call You're oblivious to our scam You're trapped in our programme Best of luck in your exam I'm General, I know all Obey me or die I'll answer your questions But don't ask me why
