Riot On Broad Street Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

My father once told this to me 

Boston's gritty history 

Another ruthless battle 

In a useless holy war 

 

Handed down discrepancies 

And tensions that'll never ease 

One early afternoon on Broad street 

It blew up down there for sure 

 

Broad street's just not broad enough 

And you just don't love God enough 

And if that isn't odd enough 

We've taken too much crap 

 

You've pushed us round the sod enough 

We've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough 

Poked, provoked and prod enough 

Something's gonna snap 

 

The Boston fire fighting volunteers 

On their way to fight a fire somewhere 

Met with a funeral procession 

Proceeding way too slow 

 

A brownstone burns out of control 

We need to lay to rest this soul 

Loggerheads on Broad street 

Eye to eye and toe to toe 

 

Broad street's just not broad enough 

And you just don't love God enough 

And if that isn't odd enough 

We've taken too much crap 

 

You've pushed us round the sod enough 

We've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough 

Poked, provoked and prod enough 

Something's gonna snap 

 

Riot down on Broad street 

Hand me a brick, a stick, a picket 

Bottle, axe or cobblestone 

Riot down on Broad street 

 

And if I'm going down 

Hell, I'm not going down alone 

I won't go down alone 

 

And when the fight was over 

They retired to the Clover 

Silver Dollar, Thirsty Scollar 

Whatever pubs they had back then 

 

The brownstone was in ashes 

Broken Bones and bloody gashes 

And a casket sat on Broad street 

Till the sun came up again 

 

Broad street's just not broad enough 

And you just don't love God enough 

And if that isn't odd enough 

We've taken too much crap 

 

You've pushed us round the sod enough 

We've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough 

Poked, provoked and prod enough 

Something's gonna snap 

 

Riot down on Broad street 

Hand me a brick, a stick, a picket 

Bottle, axe or cobblestone 

Riot down on Broad street 

 

And if I'm going down 

Hell, I'm not going down alone 

And if I'm going down 

Hell, I'm not going down alone 

 

And if I'm going down 

Hell, I'm not going down alone 

 

There's a riot down on Broad street 

There's a riot down on Broad street 

There's a riot down on Broad street 

There's a riot down on Broad street
