Lyrics
I go to County Vo-tech
I smoke off-brand cigarettes
I drive a Hyundai to death
I drown in credit-card debt
Welcome to New Jersey
I bowl at tri-city lanes
my jeans have mystery stains
There is this guy that I know
can get you hot stereos
Welcome to New Jersey
Welcome to New Jersey
You can find a mini-mal anytime
You can drive a multi-lane highway... anywhere
my sister weaves fine bouquets
from stolen wreaths found on graves
she rents a flea market slot
spends all her profits on pot
Welcome to New Jersey
my brother's windowless van
he painted leftover tan
no one knows quite what's inside
he's glad to give you a ride
Welcome to New Jersey
Welcome to New Jersey
You can find a motel anywhere
just be sure you don't tell anyone... anytime soon (heh heh)
I can smell the meadowlands late at night
could it be the rotting bodies or the shite? ...right??
I eat at Greasy Tony's
stop by the roadside to pee
I'm feeling just a bit tight
I think that's it for the nite...
Welcome to New Jersey
Welcome to New Jersey
