This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Staring down Cedar Grove up on Indian Hills
See a skyline littered with triple deckers and gin mills
Years of tot lot pass my eyes
Reflecting faces that have gone by
Adams corner embedded in my soul
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
Historical revelence cemented in her sidewalks
Gather up my thoughts stroll through the observation fields
Think about Dot detractors well up with a rapid anger
Because I can't help but sing for her
It gets real personal when she is slurred
Can't forget Garvey and Hemey Park
In defense of Dorchester
A real community not idle zip codes
In defense of Dorchester
I forged a life on these streets and city roads
This is who I am
This is where I'm from
Wear it on my sleeve
Predictably the fire brand
Never stay silent when she's assailed
Into my heart advocacy nailed
Lower Mills I did not forget you
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
No matter where the gang winds up, you'll always be my home
See a skyline littered with triple deckers and gin mills
Years of tot lot pass my eyes
Reflecting faces that have gone by
Adams corner embedded in my soul
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
Historical revelence cemented in her sidewalks
Gather up my thoughts stroll through the observation fields
Think about Dot detractors well up with a rapid anger
Because I can't help but sing for her
It gets real personal when she is slurred
Can't forget Garvey and Hemey Park
In defense of Dorchester
A real community not idle zip codes
In defense of Dorchester
I forged a life on these streets and city roads
This is who I am
This is where I'm from
Wear it on my sleeve
Predictably the fire brand
Never stay silent when she's assailed
Into my heart advocacy nailed
Lower Mills I did not forget you
In defense of Dorchester
Home to a thousand dreams and Beantown legends
In defense of Dorchester
No matter where the gang winds up, you'll always be my home
