DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS

"Skinhead On The MBTA (Traditional)"

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.
