i want my city back

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

stepped out to take a closer look

held in with 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

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

feel

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?

well i don't know

(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 )
