Skinhead on the M.B.T.A. Songtext

von Dropkick Murphys

Now let me tell you a story bout a big ole' skinhead
On a tragic and fateful day
He put 10 cents in his pocket his wife and family
And went to ride on the M.B.T.A.

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the 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.

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

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

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

Skinhead's wife goes to the Scully Square Station
Everyday at quarter past two, and through the open window
She hands skinhead a grenade as the train comes rumbling through

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

Now you citizens of Boston don't you think its a scandal how the skinhead stole that train What's the big fucki'n deal, he'll work for beer. Let the skinhead drive the fucki'n train

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

Did he ever return, no he never returned
And his fate is still unknown (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston
He's the skinhead who never returned

He's the skinhead who never returns
He's the skinhead who never returns
