The Greatest Generation

If you been wondering, just what has made us grow

A generation hard as stone

My father’s father, may god rest his soul

He taught me something you should know

You put your shoulder to the wheel

You put your nose to the grindstone

You work your fingers straight to the bone

I won't, won't let ‘em leave us

A generation

I won't, won't let ‘em leave us, don't leave us

Selfless, relentless

Don't let their memory fade away

No, I won't, won't let ‘em leave us, don't leave us

Remember what made us great

Now’s the time to

Remember what made us great

They dug and shaped the earth,

And with their hands gave birth

To all the modern wonders that you see

They worked from dawn till dusk

They did it all for us

If we take one thing from them it should be

You put your shoulder to the wheel

You put your nose to the grindstone

You work your fingers straight to the bone

I won't, won't let ‘em leave us

A generation

I won't, won't let ‘em leave us, don't leave us

Selfless, relentless

Don't let their memory fade away

No, I won't, won't let ‘em leave us, don't leave us

I am forever grateful

I am the man I am today

(Don't leave us)

I am forever grateful

For your hand in making me this way

(Don't leave us)

Remember what made us great
