[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
Stijl van muziek
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
