Generation Away Lyrics by Lady A

Golden (Deluxe Edition)

2013

[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
