Mighty Mighty Bosstones - I Want My City Back lyrics

Up around 95

Sailing down Storrow Drive

left exit into Kenmore Square

slowed down when I got there

and that's when it was crystal clear

it wasn't there, it wasn't where

I left it, when I left it

I want my city back

back the way it used to be

I want it back the way it was

I looked around and found

this doesn't feel like my hometown

and I don't like the way it does feel

stepped out to take a closer look

Held in wiht every step I took

The sadness I felt just to look around

I looked up to the Citgo Sign

you used to be a friend of mine

do you agree with me at one time

this was once such sacred ground

but now I want my city back...

How should I feel when the place

where I first learned I could feel

is no longer where I left it

when I left it not so long ago

how should I feel? How should i feel?

how should I feel? I don't know

I want my city back...
