Biografía:
La banda punk-ska The Mighty Mighty Bosstones se formó en 1985 en Boston, EE.UU., y en 1989 lanzó su álbum debut “Devil’s Night Out”. Aunque nunca lograron llegar al mercado comercial, el grupo encabezó el cambio del ska a un genero híbrido de fiesta high-energy, al añadir elementos del pop y el metal. En contraste con la mayoría de bandas de su tipo, los Bosstones mantuvieron algo de la propuesta política del ska, presentándose a menudo para causas locales.

Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Riot On Broad Street
INTRO: Em C X4
VERSE 1:
Em C
My father once told this to me, Boston's gritty history
Em C
Another ruthless battle in a useless holy war
Em C
Handed down discrepancies and tensions that'll never ease
Em C
One early afternoon on broad street, it blew up down there for sure
G D C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
G D C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
G D C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G D C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap
BREAK: Em C X2
VERSE 2:
Em C
The Boston fire fighting volunteers, on their way to fight a fire somewhere
Em C
Met a funeral procession proceeding way too slow
Em C
A brownstone burns out of control, we need to lay to rest this soul
Em C
Loggerheads on broad street, eye to eye and toe to toe
G D C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
G D C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
G D C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G D C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap
CHORUS:
G D Em C G D C D
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G D Em C G D Em C
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone, I won't go down alone
BREAK: Em C X4
VERSE 3:
Em C
And when the fight was over they retired to the Clover
Em C
Silver Dollar, Thirsty Scholar, whatever pubs they had back then
Em C
A brownstone was in ashes, broken bones and bloody gashes
Em C
And a casket sat on broad street 'til the sun came up again
G D C
Broad street's just not broad enough and you just don't love God enough
G D C
And if that isn't odd enough we've taken too much crap
G D C
You've pushed us round the sod enough, we've scrapped and rapped and jawed enough
G D C
Poked, provoked and prod enough, something's gonna snap
CHORUS/ENDING:
G D Em C G D C D
Riot down on broad street, hand me a brick, stick, a picket, bottle, axe or cobblestone
G D Em C
Riot down on broad street, and if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
Em C
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
Em C
And if I'm going down, hell, I'm not going down alone
Em C Em C
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
Em C Em C
There's a Riot down on broad street, there's a Riot down on broad street
