OK.

The correct title is "O Minister of War" rather than "The General."

O MINISTER OF WAR
(From The Book of Songs from the Chou Dynasty as translated in The White Pony)

O minister of war,
We are the king's fangs and claws.
Why have you piled on us this misery?
We have no place in which to rest.

O minister of war,
We are the king's claws and teeth.
Why have you piled on us this misery?
We have nowhere to lay our heads.

O minister of war,
Truly you have behaved curiously.
You have piled on us this misery.
Our mothers lack food.
