[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]

[Verse 3]
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]

[Verse 4]
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]

[Verse 5]
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)]

[Bridge]
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
I said the skin never returns
[Chorus (2X)]

[Outro]
He's the skinhead who never returned
He's the skinhead who never returned
