| Song | before the great war |
| Artist | Vandaveer |
| Album | Divide and Conquer |
| You were born before the Great War | |
| Born again when you were two | |
| Ah, you stood strong though you were wrong | |
| Couldn’t break but you broke through | |
| Your daddy was a singer | |
| But he never sang to you | |
| Ah, he lashed out | |
| Yeah, he cashed out | |
| And he left your mama, too | |
| He was gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| He was gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| Your mother had a good heart | |
| Did the best that she could do | |
| She let your hair down when no one was around | |
| She was lost, she was hurting, too | |
| You kept secrets for a living | |
| You kept quiet to stay alive | |
| You told stories, shrewd stories | |
| Every ending ended right | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| You stood fast through the roaring twenties | |
| You stood still in ‘29 | |
| You found a good man, found a very good man | |
| He was gruff but he towed the line | |
| You built a home | |
| You yield a family like the one you never knew | |
| You made children | |
| You gave children all the love your daddy stole from you | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new | |
| You were gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody new |
