lyrics

C I T Y O N F I R E

Here we are again, good times – My Friends
All the ups and down, until THE BITTER END!
Seen your faces before, & we’ll see them again.
All of this and more, we will defend (Whoa, Whoa…)

BOSTON IS BURNING, that much is true.
Who lit the match? Maybe it was you?
CITY ON FIRE, I didn’t even try.
On the streets all night, we’ll sleep when we die!

We were young, we were skins, let the night begin.
Hang’in out, volume up, urban discipline.
Hoods up, boots down – We walk this path alone.
Late night, street fights, these scuffed nux mis…
A warm bed and a home.

BOSTON IS BURNING, that much is true.
Who lit the match? Maybe it was you?
CITY ON FIRE, I didn’t even try.
On the streets all night, we’ll sleep when we die!
