the greatest generation - billy cobb lyrics

[verse 1]
he sits in his chair in the damp musty air
and the scent is nonenal and meek
he looks towards the spot where his wife used to knit
as they sat and watched cable tv
plays chess with himself and he sips his 12oz of his finest store*bought daquiri
he plays someone else but his days of poor health
only hear from his kids once a week
so he looks towards the table at his old picture frames
and he sees his old friends and remembers when they sang

[chorus]
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to diе
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
he ain’t gonna jump no morе

[verse 2]
goes to the closet and pulls out his boxes of medals and army fatigues
he reads through his letters
all inked, smudged, and scattered about conditions in normandy
found pictures of war*time and pictures of peace*time
and plenty of all magazines
and under some bags hid a group of dog tags that belonged to his old company
placed in his hand, he read out the name
of an old friend he lost long before his old age
[chorus]
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
he ain’t gonna jump no more

[verse 3]
the days blend together and his health won’t get better
but his mind sees the world like a child
all of his prospects and material objects don’t act as they used to beguile
the clock has no power
there’s no use for its hours
as it sits as a slumbering dial
he drifts off to dream
but his mind is at ease as he hears several voices compiled
sees several faces he almost forgot
and he takes his first step and the choir takes off

[chorus]
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
gory, gory what a h*ll of a way to die
he ain’t gonna jump no more

[sample]
and then nowadays i am so upset
its just the things we did
and the things we fought for
and the boys that died for it
its all going down the drain
our country’s going to h*ll in a hand basket
we haven’t got the country we had when i was raised
not at all
n0body will have the fun i had
n0body will have the opportunity i had
this just is not the same
that’s not what*
that’s not what they died for
