And Generals order their men to kill
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill.

More quotes by Paul Simon

And she said Losing love is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow.

You'd better keep an eye on them children, eye on them children in the pool.
