Mohawk Town – THE VANDALS

The Vandals foi formado em 1980 em Huntington Beach, Califórnia. O vocalista Steven Ronald “Stevo” Jensen e o guitarrista Jan Nils Ackermann iniciaram o grupo, praticando e apresentando-se com alguns outros músicos antes que a formação se estabelecesse, incluindo o baixista Steve “Human” Pfauter e o baterista Joe Escalante. Rapidamente construíram uma reputação na cena punk rock de Los Angeles e do Condado de Orange, que incluía também bandas como Bad Religion, Descendents, Black Flag, T.S.O.L., X, The Germs, Suicidal Tendencies e Social Distortion. Os Vandals distinguiam-se da cena ao focar o humor ao invés de tópicos políticos e sociais.

Now Mohawk John knew he did wrong When he went and killed some men They sent for the marshal to bring him in They sent for Marshal Skin

He rolled into town, And pulled his cowboy hat down ‘Cause everyone knows a skinhead, Skinheads aren’t allowed (Skinheads aren’t allowed) In Mohawk Town

The sun was high and his mouth was dry So he rolled up to the saloon He ordered himself some red eye He knew he’d meet John soon Checked out all the Mohawks Sittin’ ’round the bar He knew he found the Mohawk town And John couldn’t be too far

He rolled into town, And pulled his cowboy hat down ‘Cause everyone knows a skinhead, Skinheads aren’t allowed (Skinheads aren’t allowed) In Mohawk Town

He walked out of the saloon And there stood Mohawk John He didn’t have no time to speak Both guns had just been drawn Now Mohawk John was quick But Skin shot straight and fast He put a slug right through his heart And laid him on his back

He rolled into town, And pulled his cowboy hat down ‘Cause everyone knows a skinhead, Skinheads aren’t allowed (Skinheads aren’t allowed) In Mohawk Town

He rolled into town, And pulled his cowboy hat down ‘Cause everyone knows a skinhead, Skinheads aren’t allowed (Skinheads aren’t allowed) In Mohawk Town

Mohawk Town… Mohawk Town…

He rolled into town, And pulled his cowboy hat down ‘Cause everyone knows a skinhead, Skinheads aren’t allowed (Skinheads aren’t allowed) In Mohawk Town
