Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From looking straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell her now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the pain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run (Honey, honey what's your problem)
'Cause Janie's got a gun (Tell me it ain't right)
Janie's got a gun (Was it daddy's cradle robbin')
Her dog day's just begun (That made you scream at night)
Now everybody's on the run
Janie's got a gun

Review about Janie's Got A Gun It's True | Reviewer: AzCullen | 6/18/09
I think this song is absoulutely amazing from the voice of Steven Tyler to the awesome licks of Joe Perry. But most importantly in the song it talks about a subject that not many people talk about that is being sexually abused in this case it's Janie. This song let's us know that our world is not perfect and that there our kids out there who are being sexually abused by there parents even though some of us choose not to beleive it, these kinds of things our happening and i'm glad someone actually chose to step up and say this is what's going on! So thankyou Aerosmith for being true I love you guys!!
BEST SONG EVER!! | Reviewer: Jenny (Not Janie ;) ) | 11/17/08
I am a huge Aerosmith fan. Most of Aerosmith's stuff is about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, but this song is just way too good. They totally outdid theirselves. It's the last thing you would've expected, and it's just amazing! It shows what can happen when somebody stays silent too long about something like that. It raises awareness about those types of things. And the music video is incrediblly haunting. Like in a good way. Joe Perry says that after that song was released, the band received loads of fanmail thanking them for writing that song because most other bands have never dared to touch that subject. And they did. Kudos to them!
Brilliant Song | Reviewer: Jess | 8/3/08
The song "Janie's got a gun" is amazing, it lets you know how she is feeling and it really has depth within the lyrics, I think it was aerosmiths best song. Well done Aerosmith, through this song, you have become one of my favourite bands! :)
this song rocks i first heard on vh1 review thing and im confused cuz they said the daddy was trying to have sex with his daughter but then another review said that he was beating her and her mother up so....????
A new song for history | Reviewer: Andrew Keister | 8/13/07
It's a good thing Aerosmith released this song, not only because it's a great song, but because it tells us about things that are happining everywhere in the world.
What I like most about this song is the counterpoint between the depressing mood of song's message and the upbeat instrumental presentation. Janie is the hero and all victim's of abuse can rejoice in the victory.
A landmark recording and composition. | Reviewer: Derek Mok | 6/16/07
Not just Aerosmith's greatest song, possibly in the Top 5 greatest rock songs of the '80s and one of the greatest modern recordings. Steven Tyler's non-traditional chord progressions and killer keyboard work, Joe Perry's acoustic-electric solo, Tom Hamilton's rock-solid bass. Bruce Fairbairn's production is fantastic as well -- the arrangement sounds not quite rock, not quite orchestral, not quite blues, not quite pop. Classic video, as well.
Great Song | Reviewer: Ewan | 4/17/07
Aerosmith has written some great songs but none as good as Janie's Got a Gun. The lyrics in this song are amazing and tell a good story. This is a sad song but a masterpiece.
This is a bloody brilliant song!!! It has so much power in the lyrics that I can't help but listen to it whenever I am feeling down. The music fits in great with the theme of the song and the way the lyrics are delivered. It may have been protested about when it was released because of the content, but it made people more aware about circumstances like this. Another great success to Aerosmith. WELL DONE to Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, Joey Kramer and any other people who helped to write and produce this song :)
