Fists in the Commonwealth

[Verse 1]
Big Boss rode in at noon
Dust on his coat and his grin
Old rifles hanging on walls
But today he came bare-fisted in

He looked at the town square crowd
Then up at that Commonwealth sign
Said, "Call your President out
If he's got the guts to fight"

[Pre-Chorus]
No steel
No shield
Just skin and bone
The whole block held its breath
When the answer came home

[Chorus]
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
No weapon, no armor
Just a name to defend
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
He came in a fancy suit
And he came to stand

[Verse 2]
The President stepped from the gate
Tailored dark and spotless white
Tie pulled straight as a promise
In the hard midday light

He nodded once to the raiders
Then rolled his sleeves to the elbow
Said, "If this town wants a lesson
I'll teach it with my own blows"

[Pre-Chorus]
No steel
No shield
Just skin and bone
The whole block held its breath
When the answer came home

[Chorus]
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
No weapon, no armor
Just a name to defend
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
He came in a fancy suit
And he came to stand

[Bridge]
First hit cracked like thunder
Second hit shook the dust
One man fought for power
One man fought for trust

Boots dug into the dirt
Blood on the courthouse steps
The crowd learned quick that a kingdom
Is the price you never forget

[Final Chorus]
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
No weapon, no armor
Just a name to defend
Fists in the Commonwealth
Fists in the Commonwealth
He came in a fancy suit
And he came to stand

[Outro]
When the dust fell low
And the hard sun burned gold
They said the town still stood
Because two men chose to hold
