I was just a tourist
 
 You got to be a big hometown hero
 
 Made you feel important
 
 Still stuck in your high school yearbook
 
  
  Why'd we have to cover so much ground?
 
 You showed me around
 
 As far as I'm concerned they should just burn the whole city down
  
 
 How'd you make me hate Boston?
 
 It's not its fault that you don't love me
 
 Had its charm, but it lost it
 
 It's not its fault just a casualty
 
 And casual's the way you chose to leave
  
 
 Hid me in your basement
 
 God forbid, you're not the centre of attention
 
 Family confrontation
 
 Probably static 'cause my name was mentioned
  
 
 I heard your father's sleepin' on the couch
 
 You sure got around
 
 As far as I'm concerned they should just burn the whole city down
  
 
 How'd you make me hate Boston?
 
 It's not its fault that you don't love me
 
 Had its charm, but it lost it
 
 It's not its fault just a casualty
 
 How'd you make me hate Boston?
 
 The whole thing is haunted
 
 How do you sleep?
 
 Knowing you held me hostage
 
 You must be exhausted
 
 Don't you miss me?
  
 
 And casual's the way you chose to leave
 
 And you're all over every single street
