Borås
Borås (Swedish pronunciation: [bʊˈroːs]) is a city (officially, a locality) and the seat of Borås Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden. It had 66,273 inhabitants in 2010.
Geography
Borås is located at the point of two crossing railways, among them the railway between Gothenburg and Kalmar, and is often considered the Swedish city gaining the most from the nationwide railway system laid between 1870 and 1910.
History
The city of Borås received its privileges in 1621 by King Gustav II Adolf. The reason was to give local pedlars a legal place for vending their merchandise. The city developed soon after it was founded. After a century it had increased to over 2,000 inhabitants.
Borås has been ravaged by fires four times: in 1681, 1727, 1822 and 1827. The Caroli Church is the oldest of Borås's buildings, and has withstood all fires.
Industry
The city arms depicts two sheep-shearing scissors, a tribute to the vast number of smiths in the town in early history. It currently holds the Swedish record in the number of established mail-order firms.

Beautiful Struggle
by: BorrowersThree days out from her hometown
Something overheated something broke down
Hit Las Vegas like we might belong
It seemed for a minute that we weren't so wrong
You can't tell when you're weak and you're young
It's a beautiful struggle
The tracks end here but the train's gotta run
Beautiful struggle
You wanna be loved by everyone
If it was anywhere else if it was up to me
We would have had something so we weren't so free
But a dog won't listen once she's tasted blood
Why we stayed together it was clear as mud
You can't tell when the damage is done
It's a beautiful struggle
The tracks end here but the train's gotta run
Beautiful struggle
When you wanna be loved by everyone
The last time I saw her she was dressed in white
She was up in that back house with her appetite
It's a beautiful struggle
The tracks end here but the train's gotta run
Beautiful struggle
