Welcome To Janesville Lyrics


Smoking Popes Welcome To Janesville


Born with a stainless steel dream
that one day you'd be free
bound by the name of your town
wherever you may roam
it follows you around

No matter how many ways you try
to kiss this place goodbye
it lives in you til the day you die
say the words with a tear in your eye
"Welcome to Janesville"

How far away have you run
to forget what they've done?
they beat you down til you're broke
another blow was struck
with ever word they spoke

No matter how many ways you try
to kiss this place goodbye
it lives in you til the day you die
say the words with a tear in your eye
"Welcome to Janesville"

Welcome to Janesville (repeated)

Born with a stainless steel dream
that one day you'd be free
change both your hair and your name
but something in your way
betrays from whence you came

No matter how many ways you try
to kiss this place goodbye
it lives in you til the day you die
say the words with a tear in your eye
"Welcome to Janesville"
