The General

The General
Daddy, don't
I swear I won't
I'll be good from now on
And I'm awful sorry
Daddy, don't
The hell I won't
I won't be good anymore
And you'll all be sorry
Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop?
Can anybody help me? This pain, it just won't stop

My only regret
Is that I never took
The time to forget
All those unspoken feelings
That were never spent
On those who understand
That love deserves respect
And not your sordid meaning
Daddy, don't
I swear I won't
I'll be good from now on
And I'm awful sorry
Daddy, don't
The hell I won't
I won't be good anymore
And you'll all be sorry
Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop?
Can anybody help me? This pain, it just won't stop
My only regret
Is that I never took
The time to forget
All those unspoken feelings
That were never spent
On those who understand
That love deserves respect
And not your sordid meaning
Don't know what to tell you now
It's never really what they tell you now
You ought to know what they tell you now
Not really what they tell you now
Don't know what to tell you now
It ain't really what they tell you now
Don't know what to tell you now
It ain't really what they tell you now

My only regret
Is that I never took
The time to forget
All those unspoken feelings
That were never spent
On those who understand
That love deserves respect
And not your sordid meaning
I never ever took the time to forget
La canción 'The General' de Guns N' Roses explora la complejidad de las relaciones familiares y emocionales. En las letras, el narrador ruega a su padre que lo perdone, prometiendo ser mejor, solo para luego desafiar esa idea y expresar su rechazo hacia las expectativas impuestas sobre él....
