Madelyn Lyrics - The Greatest Generation - The Wonder Years

Madelyn, I share your hate for this world we're in but it makes me a better man. 

It's an excuse that you make. Madelyn, I know you want to let the bottles in. 

I know you think that they're all your friends. They're lying straight to your face. 

I know about the devil in your bloodstream. I know that the ghosts still visit nightly. 

I know it must get lonely by the Chesapeake. 

Madelyn, are you really afraid of death or do you just say it if it's the right thing to say? 

Madelyn, I know you're safe where you lay your head, but if you wanted to come back, I've got a place you could stay. 

If I'm not doing right by my family, then what's the point of it anyway? I don't think there's a god. 

I don't think that there's someone coming to save us and I don't think that's the worst news of the day. 

I don't think there's a god. 

I don't think that there's someone coming to save me and I don't think that's the worst news of the day. 

Madelyn, I know how your cold scars turn purple. 

I know how the Irish goodbyes feel. 

I know where you've been and Madelyn, you and I got this East Coast blood between us. 

It's bitter and vitriolic. I know how it ends. 

If I'm not doing right by my family... oh, I'm not doing right by family.
