The Last Great American - Five for Fighting
Written by:John Ondras
Mr merry cries in his coffin' for days he says
He can remember
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful and purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the
Last great american
May I now present you the speaker
Friends he was a man of men a man of
Gold
He had a how do you say ethical like sense
That's when the president started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the last great american
Mr reaches up and we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down as his stone is
Read
Here lies our merry the man with the heart so
Spent
That in this day and age is sick of living
And judges argue letters
Fabric comes undone
For every daughter every son
Of the last great american
