Say you'll never go away
Lie to me and tell me that you'll stay
I'll believe every word you say
Say you'll never go away
The Greatest Generation, made the nation, a better place, a better place
Where's your great war?
You let me down
There's no wrong, it's all right, you can do it
Just give up the fight and settle down you say
You say it's over
You say you've won
But it's not over, it's just begun
The Greatest Generation
Where is Jesus?
You let him down
Now he can't save us, and I can't take away his crown
Since you ran him out of town
Great expectations, stuffed in the junk drawer
I have no respect for you any more
The Greatest Generation, made the nation, a better place for everyone but me
