M. T. A. - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]

These are the times that try men's souls[00:00:03]

In the course of our nation's history[00:00:06]

The people of Boston have rallied bravely[00:00:08]

Whenever the rights of men have been threatened[00:00:09]

Today a new crisis has arisen[00:00:12]

The Metropolitan Transit Authority, better known as the MTA[00:00:14]

Is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population[00:00:17]

In the form of a subway fare increase[00:00:20]

Citizens, hear me out, this could happen to you[00:00:22]

Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charlie[00:00:36]

On a tragic and fateful day[00:00:40]

He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family[00:00:43]

Went to ride on the MTA[00:00:46]

Well, did he ever return?[00:00:50]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:00:51]

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston[00:00:56]

And he's the man who never returned[00:01:00]

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station[00:01:03]

And he changed for Jamaica Plain[00:01:06]

When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel"[00:01:10]

Charlie couldn't get off of that train[00:01:13]

But did he ever return?[00:01:16]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:01:18]

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston[00:01:23]

He's the man who never returned[00:01:26]

Now, all night long Charlie rides through the station[00:01:30]

Crying, "What will become of me?[00:01:33]

How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea[00:01:36]

Or my cousin in Roxbury?"[00:01:40]

But did he ever return?[00:01:43]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:01:45]

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston[00:01:49]

He's the man who never returned[00:01:53]

Charlie's wife goes down to the Sculley Square station[00:01:56]

Every day at quarter past two[00:02:00]

And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich[00:02:03]

As the train comes rumbling through[00:02:07]

But did he ever return?[00:02:10]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:02:11]

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston[00:02:16]

He's the man who never returned[00:02:19]

Pick it Davey,[00:02:21]

Now, ye citizens of Boston[00:02:36]

Don't you think it's a scandal[00:02:37]

How the people have to pay and pay?[00:02:39]

Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brian[00:02:42]

Get poor Charlie off the MTA[00:02:46]

Or else he'll never return[00:02:49]

No he'll never return and his fate is still unlearned[00:02:50]

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston[00:02:55]

He's the man who never returned[00:02:58]

He's the man who never returned[00:03:02]

He's the man who never returned[00:03:05]

Ain't you, Charlie?[00:03:09]
