Skinhaed On The M.B.T.A. (Live Version From The Do

Performed Live at the do or die release party and on the singles collection
All Abooooaaaard

noooow 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.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 1x

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 1x

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 a rumbling through

chorus 1x

Oi x7

See me ride out of that sunset
On your color TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
Don't you start no fight

Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win that fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode

I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand?
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess around

Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode

T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. oi
I'm dynamite oi
T.N.T. oi
And I'll win the fight oi
T.N.T. oi
I'm a power load oi
T.N.T. oi
Watch me exploooode

Oi x7

now you citizens of boston
don't you think its a scandal
how the skinhead stole the train
what's the big fuckin' deal,
he'll work for beer
let the skinhead drive the fucking train
chorus 2x
