The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Riot on broad street

My ^Emfather once told this to me, ^CBoston's gritty history An^Emother ruthless battle in a ^Cuseless holy war ^EmHanded down discrepancies and ^Ctensions that'll never ease One early ^Emafternoon on broad street, it ^Cblew up down there for sure ^GBroad street's just not ^Dbroad enough and ^Cyou just don't love God enough And ^Gif that isn't ^Dodd enough we've ^Ctaken too much crap You've ^Gpushed us round the ^Dsod enough, we've ^Cscrapped and rapped and jawed enough ^GPoked, provoked and ^Dprod enough, ^Csomething's gonna snap

The Boston ^Emfire fighting volunteers, on their ^Cway to fight a fire somewhere Met a ^Emfuneral procession pro^Cceeding way too slow A ^Embrownstone burns out of control, we ^Cneed to lay to rest this soul ^EmLoggerheads on broad street, eye to ^Ceye and toe to toe ^GBroad street's just not ^Dbroad enough and ^Cyou just don't love God enough And ^Gif that isn't ^Dodd enough we've ^Ctaken too much crap You've ^Gpushed us round the ^Dsod enough, we've ^Cscrapped and rapped and jawed enough ^GPoked, provoked and ^Dprod enough, ^Csomething's gonna snap

^GRi^Dot down on ^Embroad ^Cstreet, hand me a ^Gbrick, stick, a ^Dpicket, bottle, ^Caxe or cobble^Dstone ^GRi^Dot down on ^Embroad ^Cstreet, and ^Gif I'm going ^Ddown, hell, I'm not ^Emgoing down alone, I ^Cwon't go down alone

And ^Emwhen the fight was over they re^Ctired to the Clover Silver ^EmDollar, Thirsty Scholar, whatever ^Cpubs they had back then A ^Embrownstone was in ashes, broken ^Cbones and bloody gashes And a ^Emcasket sat on broad street 'til the sun ^Ccame up again ^GBroad street's just not ^Dbroad enough and ^Cyou just don't love God enough And ^Gif that isn't ^Dodd enough we've ^Ctaken too much crap You've ^Gpushed us round the ^Dsod enough, we've ^Cscrapped and rapped and jawed enough ^GPoked, provoked and ^Dprod enough, ^Csomething's gonna snap

^GRi^Dot down on ^Embroad ^Cstreet, hand me a ^Gbrick, stick, a ^Dpicket, bottle, ^Caxe or cobble^Dstone ^GRi^Dot down on ^Embroad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not ^Cgoing down alone And if ^EmI'm going down, hell, I'm not ^Cgoing down alone And if ^EmI'm going down, hell, I'm not ^Cgoing down alone There's a ^EmRiot down on ^Cbroad street, there's a ^EmRiot down on ^Cbroad street There's a ^EmRiot down on ^Cbroad street, there's a ^EmRiot down on ^Cbroad street
