Welcome to Janesville - Smoking Popes

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»
