(Police, freeze!
Don't you move, you motherfucker, I'll blow your brains out)
Welcome to New Jersey

[Verse 1]
It's late at night and you're far from home
Your radio's on and you're driving alone
Until a sign looms from the gloom
The words on that sign are the words to your doom
It says New Jersey

[Chorus]
(Paid off judges, paid off lawyers, paid off cops)
Shining lights
Bloody face
Rabid dog
Can of mace
He's from New Jersey

(Police, freeze!
Don't you move, you motherfucker, I'll blow your brains out)
Welcome to New Jersey

They got the Giants
They got the Jets
They got it all but they get no respect
[Solo]

Welcome to New Jersey
Welcome to New Jersey

[Verse 2]
Out in the woods, you're cuffed to a tree
The end of my gun is the last thing you'll see
I go through your wallet I take all your cash
Your car I destroy, your body I smash
My maniac urges I simply can't stop
The funny thing is I'm not even a cop
From New Jersey

[Chorus]
(Paid off judges, paid off lawyers, paid off cops)
Shining lights
Bloody face
Rabid dog
Can of mace
He's from New Jersey

(Police, freeze!
Don't you move, you motherfucker, I'll blow your brains out)
Welcome to New Jersey
I hope you enjoy your stay
Welcome to New Jersey
