View: Hello War. Lyric Explanation
Hitler invades territories that once were German
England and France warn him “you have to stop”
HIs invasion of Poland starts a war
And now he’s learning
That Blitzkrieg though Belgium, through France
Might knock the Allies out
Chorus:
Who will be the greatest generation
If he builds an army
Under the cover of depression
And ignores Versailles?
Appeasement leads us to diplomacy
Not action, while we
Are isolationist but can’t deny
Our time to arrive
(With isolation gone, we’re here to survive)
Imperial Japan invades Sou-Southeast Asia
The US responds with embargo
Well, Japan needs the resources
Our military, an obstacle
They attack Pearl Harbor
We say goodbye isolation, hello war - hello war!
We’re island hopping in Pacific Theatres
To move us closer to that Japanese boarder
But a second European front is in order
To stop - Axis expansion starting in Africa now
We’re pushing north
Allies are holding their ground
D-Day amasses - the troops to surround
Germany is overextended, underfunded
Their last offensive fails
Yea, Battle of the Bulge
Now that Germany is done we have the Manhattan Project
Japan gets 2 atomic bombs
Then World War II is won
