Boardwalk Empty x Where Are The Patriots x Boardwalk Empty (Mashup) (Mashup)

[singer A] Down in Atlantic City I walk past closed-up doors Names on the plaques still shining But the people work no more [transition] [singer B] Sunrise creeping over the cornfield Same mud on my boots, same bill in my hand Black coffee gone cold on the windowsill Trying to make sense of this stripped-down land [transition] [singer A] How do you leave your post And sleep like it's okay? How do you wear that badge And turn your face away? [transition] [singer B] Oh America, where did you go The radio just hisses back at home Patriots folded up in a drawer And the map reads like a name I used to know [transition] [singer A] No shame, no shame When you break that promise No shame, no shame And the people pay for it Atlantic City, hear me say You can't call that justice, no way No shame, no shame When you break that promise [transition] [singer B] Big box signs still buzzing down the road But the diner’s shut and the mill went dark Kids moved out when the work ran low Left the whole block quiet after dark [transition] [singer A] Bring back the ones who answer Bring back the ones who care Bring back the hands that signed up To serve the people there If you take a public oath Then live like you mean that thing [transition] [singer B] From the grain bins rusted under summer heat To the porch light blinking by itself We keep showing up, but it feels incomplete Like the country left and took its breath [transition] [singer A] No shame, no shame When you break that promise No shame, no shame And the people pay for it Atlantic City, hear me say You can't call that justice, no way No shame, no shame When you break that promise [transition] [singer B] Oh America, where did you go The radio just hisses back at home Patriots folded up in a drawer And the map reads like a name I used to know
