Skinhead On The MBTA

AlphabetLyrics.com


Now let me tell you a story
Of a big ole' skinhead
On a tragic and fateful day
He put 10 cents in his pocket
Kicked his wife and family
And went to ride on the m.b.t.a.

[Chorus]
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unknown
He may ride forever
Neath the streets of boston
He's a skinhead who never returned.

Skinhead goes down to the kendall sq. station
And he changes for jamaica plain,
The conductor says skinhead I need a nickel,
Skinhead punches him in the brain.

[Chorus]

Now all night long
Skinhead drives through the station
Wondering who can I go and see
Can't afford to buy crack in chelsea
Or a bundle in roxbury.

[Chorus]

Skinhead's wife goes to the scollay square station
Everyday at quarter past two,
And through the open window
She hands skinhead a grenade
As the train comes a rumbling through.

[Chorus]

Now you citizens of boston
Don't you think it's a scandal
How the skinhead stole the train
What's the big fuckin' deal,
He'll work for beer
Let skinhead drive that fuckin' train.

[Chorus 2x]
He's the skinhead who never returned.
He's the skinhead who never returned.
I said the skin never returns.

[Chorus 2x]
He's the skinhead who never returned.
He's the skinhead who never returned.
