about

In memory of Victoria Snelgrove, who was killed by the Boston Police during the riots following 2004 ALCS between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees.

lyrics

The uptown kids, they came downtown tonight
(They came downtown tonight)
The riot cops were looking for a fight
(For a fight, for a fight, alright)
Victoria, she won’t be home tonight
(Daddy’s girl ain’t coming home tonight)
As the tables turn and the fires burn
in the pale blue moonlight

Hey! Boston Burns Tonight
(Yeah, Boston Burns Tonight)
The cops prepare their showdown,
but it ain’t so black and white
Hey! Boston Burns Tonight
(Yeah, Boston Burns Tonight)
For 86 years we’ve shed our tears,
but victory is ours tonight

I think this city lost it’s soul tonight
(We sold our soul tonight)
First blood spilled out on the streets tonight
(On the streets, on the streets, that’s right)
A burst of smoke was all it took tonight
(Daddy’s girl ain’t coming home tonight)
A little girl lost to a cruel world;
Nothing’s ever gonna be alright
