The Good Lord And The Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 T.V. 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 freedoms 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 T.V. 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 T.V. 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
