Welcome to the Resistance, Kid Lyrics

Pauper's Drop

Funneling Fun at a Funeral

It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire
It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire
These embers 
Might ignite
Everything, no survivors
It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire (Oh)
Stiffen your lip
You’re being conscripted
Welcome to the resistance kid
I’ll buy you a beer
If you’re still here in a year
Welcome to the resistance kid
I shot the black sheep
(Shot the black sheep, Shot the black sheep)                                                                                 Who shot the scapegoat
(Shot the scapegoat, Shot the scapegoat)                                                                                      Who shot the underdog
(Shot the underdog, Shot the underdog)                                                                                     Hiding in her fox hole
Stiffen your lip
You’re being conscripted
Welcome to the resistance kid
I’ll buy you a beer
If you’re still here in a year
Welcome to the resistance kid
Whoa Welcome to the\resistance kid                                                                                               Woe Welcome to the resistance kid                                                                                                                                    
It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire
It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire
These embers
Might ignite
Everything, no survivors
It’s raining
Gasoline
On the edge of the Ashtray Empire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
