I Want My City Back
Up around '95
Sailing down Starrow 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 feel
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
But now
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
Feel
How should I feel when the place where I first learned I could feel (Feel)
Is no longer where I left it when I left it, not so long ago (Feel)
How should I feel?
How should I feel? (Feel)
How should I feel?
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
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
I want it back 'cause I don't like the way it
Make me feel
