Vertibird Justice

[Verse 1]
In the square by the old stone hall
They heard that name and watched it fall
Mayor Mcdonough wore a polished grin
But the truth came rattlin’ from within

A ledger bent, and a cold steel seam
Under that skin was a borrowed dream
The crowd stood hard in the Commonwealth rain
When the General came to break that chain

[Pre-Chorus]
No more lies in the public light
No more masks in the dead of night
Hands up high when the law comes through
The whole town’s watchin’ what you do

[Chorus]
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(no more run)
He rode out fast in the rotor wind
To stand before the court again
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)

[Verse 2]
The General dragged him into the sky
Past the red dust and the crows in flight
Vertibird shook with a thunderous scream
Like judgment rolling through a dream

At Court of Justice, the iron doors
Opened wide on the polished floors
And every witness held their breath
As he faced the weight of what came next

[Pre-Chorus]
No more lies in the public light
No more masks in the dead of night
Hands up high when the law comes through
The whole town’s watchin’ what you do

[Chorus]
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(no more run)
He rode out fast in the rotor wind
To stand before the court again
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)

[Bridge]
Supreme Judge rose like a winter sun
And the final word was plain and blunt
Convicted him on a holy charge
For a large crime in the Commonwealth yard

Then the bells rang out, clear and strong
For every soul that had waited long
Truth came down where the shadows hide
And the broken town stood tall with pride

[Final Chorus]
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(no more run)
The Supreme Judge sealed the end
And the people breathed again
Mayor Mcdonough, you’re done
(you’re done)
