"'''Generals'''" was a single by [[The Damned]], released in 1982.
Like its' [[Strawberries (album)|parent album]], it saw the band's punk sound further experimented, with a piano-led sound and the addition of [[Brass instrument|brass]] to the blend. The song followed the thoughtful material on the album, commenting on the true losers in war.
The song was the band's last release on [[Bronze Records|Bronze]], who would drop the band when they hit financial difficulties. For their part, [[The Damned]] were never happy with the marketing they received, believing the label had no idea how to promote them. It would also be their last release with [[Paul Gray (musician)|Paul Gray]], who would leave the band on the eve of their 1983 tour.
