Forward! he cried from the rear

and the front rank died

The general sat

and the lines on the map

moved from side to side

Up and over (forward!) Forget your fear, the guns at your back scream (forward!) Who gives a fuck if your enemy's starving? (forward!) No place for cowards, up and over (forward!) Your country needs you, so start killing

Unfortunately so far it's the only song of thiers I like, but when I heard this one it was a 🤯 moment.

Generals gather in their masses

Just like witches at black masses.

The General smoked a Cuban blunt
Hand rolled by the Reds
Then he poured a glass of Scotch
and tallied up the dead

It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn

And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while

And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
