The Greatest Generation Songtext
von All That Remains

If you′ve been wondering
Just what has made us grow
A generation unsolved
My father's father
May God rest his soul
He told me something you should know

You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone

I won′t, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won′t, won′t let 'em leave us, don′t leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won′t, won't let ′em leave us, don't leave us

Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great


They dug and shaped the earth
And with their hands gave birth
To all the modern wonders that you see
They worked from dawn till dusk
They did it all for us
If we take one thing from them it should be

You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone

I won′t, won′t let 'em leave us
A generation
I won′t, won't let ′em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don′t let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let ′em leave us, don′t leave us

I am forever grateful
I am the man I am today
I am forever grateful
For your hand in making me this way

Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great

Remember what made us great (Now′s the time to)
Remember what made us great


I won't, won′t let 'em leave us
A generation
I won′t, won't let 'em leave us, don′t leave us

I won′t, won't let ′em leave us
A generation
I won't, won′t let 'em leave us, don′t leave us

Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won′t let ′em leave us, don't leave us

Remember what made us great (Now′s the time to)
Remember what made us great
