[Intro]
All right, people!
We're gonna have a rock 'n' roll party tonight!
Here we go!

[Chorus 1]
I been thinking about you
I been meaning to tell you
Sit down with me, let's have a drink

[Verse 1]
Back when the war ended, your great-grandfather handwrote
Letters of apology to all of those
Families of the men who crewed that U-boat
Haunted 'til his death by that long night off the coast

[Verse 2]
Your other great-granddad came back from Arnhem
Transformed into a damaged and violent man
Never spoke of the slaughter he witnessed firsthand
This is the world I brought you into, man

[Chorus 2]
All remorse, no rebel
A shell of my former shell
Sit down with me, let's have a drink
[Bridge]
What have we here, the dreaded failed Imagineer??
His private dismay on public display
Son, do not be alarmed by your old man's tears
Hey old man, it's okay, every dog has his day

[Outro]
Sit down with me, let's have a drink
I been thinking about you
I been meaning to tell you
Sit down with me, let's have a drink
