lyrics

General Gordon was a man
With a spear in his heart
You can never understand
The spear in his heart

He met his match
He met is doom
In the city of Khartoum!
Now he’s dead
He would be anyway
Unless he lived two hundred years:
Scientifically implausible

No no no no no no no no :

General Gordon was a man
With a spear in his chest
Because he was the
Best best

He had to die.
He wore a hat.
He had a gun.
He was a man.
He was the British Charlton Heston
But he died in the capital of Sudan.

Everyone who ever lived
Is dead,
Get over it.
If we wait a long long time
They’ll come back round again.
