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.
