Go Patriots

[Verse 1]
They came down hard on the edge of town
Boots on the porch, kicked the weak folk down
Mocked every field with a crooked grin
Said, “What’s a little hope gonna get you in?”

They laughed at the caps and the patched-up fence
Took from the hungry, called it common sense
But I saw the fire in the settlers’ eyes
Quiet like iron, cold as sunrise

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General stood in the road
Lifted that hand, let the whole town know
If they want blood, let ’em come and try
We don’t bend, we don’t bow, we don’t die

[Chorus]
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians
Go Patriots, go
We stand where we’re planted, yeah
Soldier’s honor wins
Over brutality again
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians

[Verse 2]
They rolled with chains and a rowdy laugh
Left a trail of ash in the ditch and grass
But the old farm boys with their rifles low
Moved like a storm through the evening glow

No silver crown, no polished speech
Just mud on the cuffs and grit in reach
One for the home line, one for the name
One for the ones they tried to shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the General called, “Hold the line”
“Every broken heart is a battle sign”
“We’re the kind they can’t run through”
“Stand up now, this fight is for you”

[Chorus]
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians
Go Patriots, go
We stand where we’re planted, yeah
Soldier’s honor wins
Over brutality again
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians

[Bridge]
Let them roar with their iron pride
We got kinfolk standing side by side
From the well to the ridge to the wheat-field edge
We made our oath on a rusted pledge

[Final Chorus]
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians
Go Patriots, go
We stand where we’re planted, yeah
Soldier’s honor wins
Over brutality again
Go Patriots, go
Fight, fight, Barbarians
