I Want My City Back Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

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...
