lyrics

I'm a record collector,
& I shopped at Planet records
I was just a kid
Thought it'd be there forever

So I went to Deli Haus, but it was long gone
college kids sucked away the charm

Stepped down to Captain Nemo’s
for an Italian hero
and a pinball game, but it’s aint the same
off to The Rat, didn’t need an ID
cuz everybody there knows me

This is not my kenmore square
I used to see The Pixes there
Now the hotel commonwealth is where
My childhood went to die…

I passed the dutch with Mr. Butch ,
in the alley behind a garbage truck
caught a Red Sox game, for 20 bucks
now I don’t know where I am

I snuck into the cars, with a beer in my hand
and the bouncers didn't give a damn
they don't know my name but they know my face
they just smiled and waived me in!

This is not my kenmore square
I used to go see Gang Green there
Now the hotel commonwealth is where
My childhood went to die…

Well I took my date, to The Pizza Pad
and she looked at me and smiled
then went to Bill's, saw The Shods and The Pills
we had a wicked awesome time

tried pick up chicks back at Narcissus
but the girls would always laugh
they weren’t girls at all, they were 6 feet tall
but man did I have a blast

This is not my kenmore square
I used to see The Atlantics there
Now the hotel commonwealth is where
My childhood went to die…

solo

blame it on menino
blame it on BU
blame it all on Amazon
it wasn't me and you!

who took a piece of history
sold it to the chains
well this used to be a rock & roll town
now it's Anywhere, USA!

This is not my kenmore square
I used to see the Til Tuesday there
Now the hotel commonwealth is where
My childhood went to die

went to die
went to die
went to die
DIE!
