This story starts on a peaceful evening We all know looks can be deceiving A band was playing down at the street scene When the crowd got big, some people got mean It was some kind of protest, some kind of rally When a bomb exploded in the alley Police are coming on the left and right Smoke is clouding out the light Stage caught fire, I can feel the heat Running for our lives down on main street A bus pulls up yeah, we jump right in Pretty soon, we can breathe again Come to stop a few miles away Finally see who saved the day And she's singing a beautiful song Grab a guitar and play along We keep playing on until the dawn With Broadway rose Don't you know what hate can do? Turn up the heat until you blow a fuse Give you a tip, try something new Might find a good friend when you do We've been out in the redwood trees Saying thank you, saying please All the people living in peace But when we get back to our town Everybody's tearing each other down People talk about all their wishes Think they've got it a little bit twisted But she, she's singing everyday Makes our blues just melt away The band is loud, the dancers sway In our city by the bay It's Broadway rose and omega tones It's 'roadway rose and omega tones They'll shake your what? Gonna shake your bones Don't you know what love can do? It's good for me, it's good for you Can lift you up from the hole you're in Remind you how to smile again Some people say that we're not right Keep telling us they want to fight So all our friends are stepping out Stand in a line, don't have to shout The bullies run as fast as they can Wave at them with the back of our hands People talk about all their wishes Think they've got it a little bit twisted But she, she's singing everyday Makes our blues just melt away The band is loud, the dancers sway In our city by the bay It's Broadway rose and omega tones It's Broadway rose and omega tones They'll shake your what? Gonna shake your bones
