Vertibirds Over Diamond City

[Verse 1]
Rust on the walls of the outfield stands
Market’s hummin’, caps passin’ hands
Mayor on the balcony, smiling too wide
Rumors in the dugout that he’s lyin’ inside

Then a shadow on the sun, roaring in low
Steel wings circlin’, casting that glow
Badges on the bird, paint chipped, guns worn
General in the doorway like a thunderstorm

[Chorus]
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Spinnin’ up dust and old ballpark dreams
Truth comin’ down in a hail of justice
Through the smoke and the siren screams
They said, “This town ain’t yours to hollow”
“We ain’t your toys, your tests, your clones”
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Bringin’ all our people home

[Verse 2]
Heard the shout through the crowd, “Step aside, son”
Steel-helmed troopers march, line by line they come
Eyes on the mayor, hand on his chest
Swearin’ he’s human like all of the rest

But his skin don’t sweat and his fear don’t shake
Doc pulls a scanner, crowd starts to break
“Wires in the wolf,” someone cries from the stands
General just nods, snaps on the cuffs by hand (hey!)

[Chorus]
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Spinnin’ up dust and old ballpark dreams
Truth comin’ down in a hail of justice
Through the smoke and the siren screams
They said, “This town ain’t yours to hollow”
“We ain’t your toys, your tests, your clones”
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Bringin’ all our people home

[Bridge]
Sirens fade to a frightened hush
Kids on the rooftop, faces flushed
General tips his hat, voice low, calm
“This field’s yours now, you keep it strong”

[Chorus]
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Spinnin’ up dust and old ballpark dreams
Truth came down in a hail of justice
Cut through the lies at the seams
We sing, “This town ain’t yours to hollow”
“We ain’t your toys, your tests, your clones”
Vertibirds over Diamond City
Now this place is truly home
