Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smoke over Cambridge
Banners on the old stone walls
Steel birds on the church roof
Think they’re standin’ ten feet tall
Power armor in the courtyards
Laser fire cuttin’ through the gloom
But word came up from Concord
Thunder in the afternoon
[Chorus]
Here come the Minutemen, rollin’ down the river road
Heavy tracks grindin’ through the fallout and the bones
You can hide behind your iron, you can preach about your code
But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own
[Verse 2]
First sight of those hulls now
Big guns in a staggered line
Rust and rebar on the armor
But they shine when the sunlight climbs
One shell into the bell tower
Brotherhood banners start to fall
Knights scatter in the crossroads
Like they never knew this war at all
[Chorus]
Here come the Minutemen, rollin’ down the river road
Heavy tracks grindin’ through the fallout and the bones
You can hide behind your iron, you can preach about your code
But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own
[Bridge]
I’ve seen power armor crumple
Like a tin can in the rain (oh-oh)
Fancy flags don’t mean a damn thing
To a town that’s lost its name
We ain’t chasin’ glory
We’re just tired of the guns
So we ride for every settler
Every daughter, every son
[Chorus]
Here come the Minutemen, rollin’ down the river road
Heavy tracks grindin’ through the fallout and the bones
You can hide behind your iron, you can preach about your code
But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own
Smoke over Cambridge
Banners on the old stone walls
Steel birds on the church roof
Think they’re standin’ ten feet tall
Power armor in the courtyards
Laser fire cuttin’ through the gloom
But word came up from Concord
Thunder in the afternoon
[Chorus]
Here come the Minutemen, rollin’ down the river road
Heavy tracks grindin’ through the fallout and the bones
You can hide behind your iron, you can preach about your code
But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own
[Verse 2]
First sight of those hulls now
Big guns in a staggered line
Rust and rebar on the armor
But they shine when the sunlight climbs
One shell into the bell tower
Brotherhood banners start to fall
Knights scatter in the crossroads
Like they never knew this war at all
[Chorus]
Here come the Minutemen, rollin’ down the river road
Heavy tracks grindin’ through the fallout and the bones
You can hide behind your iron, you can preach about your code
But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own

But this is for the farms and the kids in every home
Steel in our hearts, dust on your throne
Here come the Minutemen, takin’ back our own
Style of Music
country, Mid-tempo country ballad with gritty, melodic electric guitars, warm fiddle lines, and roomy drums; verses lean on storytelling with picked acoustic and low male vocals, then chorus swells into a heroic singalong with stacked harmonies, organ pad, and a soaring lead guitar answering the vocal melody
