The Chosen Few

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
