Loyalist vs patriots
Lyrics
(da-da-da) Oh—ah—oh
I saw the flag by the tavern door, ink still wet on a wooden sign
Some swore their debts to an absent king, some swore a different line
Cobblers, farmers, shopfront bells, morning frost and ragged clothes
We argued over who would lead, over who would pay the tolls
Say my name, say my name, who's right and who's to blame? (whoa)
There’s a county road between our yards, two fires under the same name
Loyalist and Patriot, two coins spun from the same hand
Loyalist and Patriot, shouting at the border of this land
Loyalist and Patriot, we’re holding pieces of a plan
Loyalist and Patriot, oh-oh, oh-oh — which side will stand?
He keeps a portrait in the parlor, powdered wig and steady gaze
“My oaths are older than these riots,” he says, “don’t feed the blaze”
He remembers law by hearthlight, the crown in every debt and deed
Fear of what comes after burning, fear of hunger, fear of need
Say my truth, say my truth, I’m scared of what I might lose (yeah)
There’s a cart track tearing through our field, a name carved where children choose
Loyalist and Patriot, two coins spun from the same hand
Loyalist and Patriot, shouting at the border of this land
Loyalist and Patriot, we’re holding pieces of a plan
Loyalist and Patriot, oh-oh, oh-oh — which side will stand?
We traded coffee for musket smoke, letters folded, sealing wax
Sisters braided soldiers’ hair, fathers hid the militiamen's packs
At the courthouse steps they set their stakes, at the dock they watched the tides
We learned to name our enemies, then learned our enemies had mothers’ eyes (ah)
Loyalist and Patriot, two coins spun from the same hand
Loyalist and Patriot, shouting at the border of this land
Loyalist and Patriot, we’re holding pieces of a plan
Loyalist and Patriot, oh-oh, oh-oh — which side will stand?
Loyalist and Patriot, two coins spun from the same hand
Loyalist and Patriot, you can call me traitor or call me man
Loyalist and Patriot, we took a line and drew a line in sand
Loyalist and Patriot, oh-oh, oh-oh — which side will stand?(ta-ta-touch) The road goes on — feet leave prints, letters fade on the mantelpiece
(hey) We kept our names, we kept our bones, and somewhere the bell rings for peace
