Commonwealth Rise

[Verse 1]
Desperate wasteland, broken road
Raiders prowlin' through the smoke
Mutants howlin' by the fence
Scum and dirt in every trench
But I kept a fire in my chest
Waitin' on a better crest

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sirens cut the night
A badge of steel and a steady light
Men looked up from bent-kneed pride
Women stood with tears in their eyes
He said, "Hold fast, don't run"
And the whole damned town said, "Son"

[Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)
President of the Commonwealth
(Stand up, stand up)
Law and order in his hands
Honest men all took their stand
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)

[Verse 2]
Boots on dust, no sleep, no fear
He drove the wolves right out of here
Boarded windows, set the line
Put a spine back in the pine
Now the porch lights burn so warm
Safe behind that iron storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sirens cut the night
A badge of steel and a steady light
Men looked up from bent-kneed pride
Women stood with tears in their eyes
He said, "Hold fast, don't run"
And the whole damned town said, "Son"

[Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)
President of the Commonwealth
(Stand up, stand up)
Law and order in his hands
Honest men all took their stand
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)

[Bridge]
I seen hard men finally kneel
Not in shame, but truth and steel
I seen scared hands learn to rise
With a clear sky in their eyes
If the world gets mean again
We'll remember where it began

[Final Chorus]
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)
President of the Commonwealth
(Stand up, stand up)
Law and order in his hands
Honest men all took their stand
President of the Commonwealth
(Oh, oh, President)
