Lyrics:
Not far away in a place by the sea Something is watching and waiting for me Brookline Something isn't right in Massachusetts Don't stray out of Boston town The home of Samuel Adams, the ride of Paul Revere Don't go past the signs that say the freedom trail ends here First they'll take you in with song and laughter Then they'll fill your head with lies Too late you glimpse the secret, the sinister design That marries you forever to Brookline Brookline I was once a man who had a future And I'm sure I had a past But now I can't remember the place that I came from I'm ashamed and frightened of this thing that I've become Now I'm rich and smart, my home is charming Sense of irony well-honed I buy used books and Britas, I snack on nuts and wine I have been imprisoned in Brookline Brookline You go deeper and deeper to learn how it ticks If you know what it is you can fight it Like a tootsie roll pop it takes too many licks And before you get there you will bite it Or it may bite you See the shadow fall across New England Stretching out to Oregon A talk show host, an author, a president, a king If you haven't noticed, they've infected everything Keep your hometown close, keep Brookline closer Hide your heart and watch the skies For when the darkness finds you the sun will cease to shine In the end, your only friend, Brookline Brookline And it's one if by land, two if by sea Three if by guile and duplicity Brookline Brookline
