Lyrics

Greatest generation? Well I don't know bout that Snake oil salesmen always talk so smooth Listen very long you'll find yourself right in his trap Owner of an acre on the moon I guess I've learned some things in living Thing or two I might have gotten right If you want to listen I'd be inclined to share Before I let you move off out of sight It's what my daddy taught to me The life a man had ought to lead Just try to pass it on Don't be troubled by what's gone Don't worry bout the fight the battle's won Be something you respect And never neglect To try to pass it on Many find a need to find some other man to blame Never can admit what's in his hands Living like a victim is just a road to ruin Take your lumps and tall is how you'll stand Many need attention to keep them company No one wants to be behind the stage But someone's got to sacrifice to make it all worthwhile Someone's got to forge that golden age I honestly believe it's true The man worth knowing is the man that pulls you through Just pass it on Don't be troubled by what's gone Don't worry bout the fight the battle's won Be something you respect And never neglect To try to pass it on Many spend their living 'fore they get to live Or want to ride the bus without the fare But if you work an honest day look for just an honest pay You will find your living sitting square Many won't be tied down to person place or thing Looking for a greener field to find I've been more inclined to be the one that sticks around And know my word is bond in my mind I know that you might disagree Being your own man's fine by me Just pass it on Don't be troubled by what's gone Don't worry bout the fight the battle's won Be something you respect And never neglect To try to pass it on Just pass it on Don't be troubled by what's gone Don't worry bout the fight the battle's won Be something you respect And never neglect To try to pass it on
