Dropkick Murphys - The Chosen Few lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - The Chosen Few lyrics]
Allow me to tell a story
About our little town
The big movies film here now and
The stars all hang around
Some celebs are from here but
We still hope they know
That we're the ones that made you
We'll decide when you can go
We can't stand your success
We aren't afraid to let it show
Just ask Lenny Clarke
He'll be sure to tell you so
We're arguing for sport here
And itching for a fight
We'rе obsessed with your presеnce
Yet repulsed by your sight
God loves the city's chosen few
Congrats to one and all
You've battled to the top my friends
Now we're ready for your fall
You've reached new heights and
Seen the sights
Smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight
We're creatures of habit
Nothing ever changes here
2 AM, last call, so you better buy more beer
When our teams win it all
All we get's a rolling rally
And every goddamn function's MC'd
By Mike O'Malley
It's 2008 and new kids are still the rage
Well at least we know when they play
Peter Wolf won't come on stage
The church is in a bind
There's trouble in the halls
But, it's that senator from Arlington that
Tried to grab my balls
God loves the city's chosen few
Congrats to one and all
You've battled to the top my friends
Now we're ready for your fall
You've reached new heights and
Seen the sights
Smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight
If your name ain't Russell, Williams
Brady, Ortiz, Yaz, Orr, byrd
This place can be a little tough
Some might say absurd
Dale and Holly build you up while
The big show tears you down
Just like Edgar Renteria
We'll ship you out of town
But, it's the GM's and the owners who
Will take it on the chin
Cause we don't want excuses
We just wanna win
Ya see when losing your everyone's enemy
I wish Henry, kraft and Wyc would kick the
Shit out of Jeremy
God loves the city's chosen few
Congrats to one and all
You've battled to the top my friends
Now we're ready for your fall
You've reached new heights and
Seen the sights
Smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight
Don't go away, Hazel Mae, don't go away
Where did you go, Hazel Mae, where did you go
Please don't go, we love you so
Don't go away my Hazel Mae
Don't go away, Hazel Mae, don't go away
Where did you go, Hazel Mae, where did you go
Please don't go, we love you so
Don't go away my Hazel Mae
How about those Automatics
Ernie's got a lot of fans
They don't sleep in cheap hotels
Or ride in crappy vans
They're headed for the top
Though they may not be there yet
They're still the only bar band
That's touring in a jet
And don't forget our
Actors, Chapman, Scannell, lynch and Goodman
The directors always seem to make
Our hometown guys the hoodlum
But, I'll tell ya finding talent in
This town it ain't easy
Even Marty had to use a
Lousy local band from Quincy
God loves the city's chosen few
Congrats to one and all
You've battled to the top my friends
Now we're ready for your fall
You've reached new heights and
Seen the sights
Smell the roses while you can
For another star is falling in Boston tonight
