Iron Dust President

[Verse 1]
Despair on the plain,
ash in the rain
Raider trucks roll by
like wolves with chain

Mutants in the ditch
and scum in the yard
Even good men bent
just to make it hard

[Pre-Chorus]
Then a flag came up
through the smoke and rust
A steady hand said,
"Stand tall, or bust"

[Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(stand tall now)
President of the Commonwealth
(law and order, law and order)
Every honest man
rose up proud and loud
President of the Commonwealth
brought the whole town round

[Verse 2]
He walked Main Street slow
past the busted shop
Looked those thieves in the eye
and made them stop

No more taking bread
from a shaking hand
No more fear at night
in this broken land

[Pre-Chorus]
Bellied-up old liars
ran from the light
He raised that law
and set it right

[Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(stand tall now)
President of the Commonwealth
(law and order, law and order)
Every honest man
rose up proud and loud
President of the Commonwealth
brought the whole town round

[Bridge]
Now the fields run green
where the crows once fed
Kids kick dust in the road
with a roof overhead

And when the storm comes back
we don't bow low
We hold that line
and let them know

[Final Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(stand tall now)
President of the Commonwealth
(law and order, law and order)
Every honest man
rose up proud and loud
President of the Commonwealth
brought the whole town round

President of the Commonwealth
(stand tall now)
President of the Commonwealth
(law and order, law and order)
Every honest man
rose up proud and loud
President of the Commonwealth
brought the whole town round
