Lyrics

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