Mighty Mighty Bosstones "Riot On Broad Street" |
My father once told this to me Bostons citys gritty history another ruthless battle in a useless holy war Handed down discrepancies and tensions that will never ease one early afternoon on Broad Street It blew up down there for sure (Chorus) Broad streets just not broad enough and you just dont love god enough and if that isnt odd enough we've taken to much crap you've pushed us 'round the sod enough we've scapped and rapped and jawed enough you poke prevoke and prod enough somethings going to snap! The boston fire fighting volunteers on their way to fight a fire somewhere met with a funeral procession proceeding way to slow A brownstone burns out of control We need to lay to rest this soul Loggerheads on Braod Street Eye to eye and toe to toe (Bridge) Riot down on Broad Street Hand me a brick, a stick, a picket Bottle, ax or cobblestone Riot down on Broad Street If i'm going down, Hell, Im not going down alone! I WONT GO DOWN ALONE! When the fight was over they retired to the clover Silver Dollar, Thirsty Scholar Whatever pubs they had back then The brownstone was in ashes, Broken bones and bloody gashes A casket sat on Broad Street Til the sun came up again Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
