The Last Great American (New Last Verse (9152001))
Five For Fighting

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




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
