The admiral at the front line
Mails the order by his hand
As the general quickly
Takes a survey of the land
There have been many men
Under my command
Finally, with this delivery
I hope they understand
The doctor gives the order
With a waving of his hand
As the orderly comes sweeping in
His words were not offhand
There have been many men
Who died within my bed
Crucially, they will have to see
That it's all inside their head
