about

Written by Andrew Nieporent in 2015-16.
Produced by Steve Carter in 2020-21.

"If you're not with us, you're against us."

lyrics

So the neighborhood you're living in
gives you what you need
Walls so high they keep your children dry
and blow away disease
You want to ride out in that open road
scatter like the breeze
but blue lines are turning long and red
and the blood runs deep

Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Water is rising and the flags are all unfurled
Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Got to keep it together, all you boys and girls

You used to sit and watch the lillywhites
cross the Roman streets
but now your lonely view's a bowie knife
while the city sleeps

Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Water is rising and the flags are all unfurled
Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Got to keep it together, all you boys and girls

So you've seen the Eiffel Tower now
flown a rocket through the air
but dreams vanish on a crowded beach
and a call to prayer

Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Water keeps rising and the flags are all unfurled
Roll on, roll on, midnight world
Got to keep it together, all you boys and girls

Andrew Nieporent Verona, New Jersey

Folk-infused singer-songwriter. Solo but increasingly band- and collaboration-oriented. Mostly acoustic but electric- curious. Host of the Fine Grind Open Mic Night. Veteran of thousands of local shows and open mics. Hardcore fan of Bruce Springsteen, Cat Stevens, Tom Waits, and Conor Oberst. Flattered to sometimes be aurally mistaken for John Darnielle, Colin Meloy, and Jeff Mangum. ... more
