The Man

[00:07.20] Well, he was one of the millions who signed up to defend us
[00:13.72] Long ago in 1941
[00:18.13] And when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
[00:21.58] He fought under McArthur 17 with an army Thompson gun
[00:32.27] Well, he stormed a lot of beaches
[00:34.86] Slept in jungles with the leeches
[00:37.79] He saw things a young man should never see
[00:42.83] And when they shot him in the shoulder
[00:45.67] He got back up and he marched forward
[00:48.36] Left a lot of brothers dead in Kwajelin
[00:53.95] And if it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[00:59.13] There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
[01:04.75] When I see people on my TV taking shots at Uncle Sam
[01:11.34] I hope they always remember why they can
[01:17.30] 'Cause we'd all be speaking German or living under the flag of Japan
[01:22.66] If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[01:28.17] If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[01:39.11] Now I'm the grandson of a soldier
[01:42.08] And I'd fight the whole world over
[01:44.85] If duty called and freedom's on the line
[01:49.41] But thanks to the greatest generation
[01:52.43] And the ones still fighting for our nation
[01:55.51] I've never had to kill for my way of life
[02:00.67] And if it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[02:06.09] There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
[02:11.49] When I see people on my TV taking shots at Uncle Sam
[02:18.29] I hope they always remember why they can
[02:24.12] 'Cause we'd all be speaking German or living under the flag of Japan
[02:29.44] If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[02:34.88] If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
[02:45.65] 'Cause he was one of the millions who signed up to defend us
[02:51.84] Long ago in 1941
[02:56.20] And when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
[02:59.99] He fought under McArthur 17 with an army Thompson gun
