The Last Great American Lyrics - ...message For Albert - Five For Fighting

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

Of the Last Great American...

Then the funeral pyre was shattered 

And the world became undone 

The mourners raised their heads up 

As the crowd began to run 

Then everybody stopped... 

...to the beating of a drum. 

For through the smoke and morning sun 

Stands the Last Great American
