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
