The Good Lord And The Man

Lyrics

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
