Well, he was one of the millions who signed up to defend us
Long ago in 1941
And when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
He fought under McArthur 17 with an army Thompson gun
Well, he stormed a lot of beaches
Slept in jungles with the leeches
He saw things a young man should never see
And when they shot him in the shoulder
He got back up and he marched forward
Left a lot of brothers dead in Kwajelin
And if it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
When I see people on my TV taking shots at Uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
'Cause we'd all be speaking German or living 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
Now 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
And if it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
When I see people on my TV taking shots at Uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
'Cause we'd all be speaking German or living 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
'Cause he was one of the millions who signed up to defend us
Long ago in 1941
And when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
He fought under McArthur 17 with an army Thompson gun
