Generation Away

[Verse 1]

If I was a summer, I wanna be '69

I'd be chilling, listening to Dylan, holding up a peace sign

And if I was a prison, I wanna be Folsom

Johnny Cash be rocking that black

Singing to the stripes and kicking out all the lights

[Chorus]

Hey, what can I say?

I hope they'd talk about us that way

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Than right here making history

Hey, oh, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

For the generation away

Come on!

[Verse 2]

If I was an old car, I wanna be a Mustang

American made with a white rag top on a blue sky kind of day

And if I was a preacher, I wanna be Dr. King

Oh, I know he's up there smiling down ‘cause we all still have a dream

[Chorus]

Hey, what can I say?

I hope they'd talk about us that way

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Than right here making history

Hey, oh, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

For the generation away

[Bridge]

Let's make some memories while we can

Laugh and love, don't miss your chance

'Cause he still got the whole world in his hands

So baby, let's dance

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm singing

Hey, oh, what can I say?

I hope they talk about us that way

Raise your voice and have no fear

Let 'em know that you were here

Singing

Hey, what can we do?

Here we are, it's me and you

So let's take all the pictures we can take

And let's make all the memories we can make

For the generation away

[Outro]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, he's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole wide world right in his hands

So come on now, everybody just dance

He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the whole wide world right in his hands

So sing out loud and wave your hands

Got the whole world

Got the whole wide world (Whole wide world)

The whole wide world, oh yeah

Now everybody in the party

Everybody in the place

Come on and put your hands up

Come on and put your hands up

Oh no, oh-oh, yeah
