The Good Lord and the Man |
| Well, he was one of the millions |
| Who signed up to defend us long ago in 1941 |
| When they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor |
| He fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun |
| Well, he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches |
| He saw things young man should never see |
| And when they shot him in the shoulder |
| He got back up and he marched over |
| Left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land |
| And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam |
| I hope they always remember why they can |
| 'Cause we’d all be speakin' German |
| Livin' under the flag of Japan |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| Well, I’m the grandson of a soldier |
| And I’d fight the whole world over |
| If duty called and freedom’s on the line |
| But thanks to the greatest generation |
| And the ones still fighting for our nation |
| I’ve never had to kill for my way of life |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land |
| And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam |
| I hope they always remember why they can |
| 'Cause we’d all be speakin' German |
| Livin' under flag of Japan |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land |
| And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam |
| I hope they always remember why they can |
| 'Cause we’d all be speakin' German |
| Livin' under flag of Japan |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
| If it wasn’t for the good Lord and the man |
