Dropkick Murphys - The Chosen Few Lyrics
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.
Just ask Lenny Clark, he’ll be sure to tell you so.
We’re arguing for sport here, and itching for a fight,
We’re obsessed with your presence,
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 a.m 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'mally.
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, Bird,
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’ll 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!
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,
for another star is falling in Boston tonight!

Dropkick Murphys The Chosen Few Comments
Not a Bostonian but this song ROCKS!!!
I love this song. I saw them in Atlantic City a few weeks after the Phillies beat the Rays in the 08 World series and they played this. They dedicated to the Phils. Ken Casey offered a tip of the cap to the Phils and thanked us for knocking off the Rays. They also switched the Edgar Renteria part with Manny Ramirez. I know it's a Red Sox tune but after that show I will always think of those 08 Phils when I hear this tune.
Sad it was not to see Tom Brady fall this past Sunday night.
I love this song, it was the first song I heard from Dropkick, and fuck, no one, has heard this song, it's pretty damn sad that one of their best songs is completely forgotten, this song is the epitome of that feeling when your drunk and speaking about where you grew up.
Matt Damon!
@chisox100 I know, right. but maybe they'll put it out after they finish promoting Going Out in Style. I've written but to no avail. thanks for posting!

Political? this song is far from it, its about the people of the great city of Boston, and mainly the celebreties(its 3am lay off if my spellings off haha) and the sports teams
Hi, I don't understand this - I guess it's political on your side of the pond. Out of interest what are your views on the new pressi? As an Englishman I'm very right wing , which I guess means republican over with you - however Barak seems a better bet than some old guy, and palin was frighteningly thick. Just interested to know your view. By the way, musically, this was pants. Ever heard of Vain - I'll send you some, it's sexy.
