Come On, Illinois |
| Come on, Illinois |
| There’s a fire in the city |
| We’re making noise |
| You’re burning bright and pretty |
| It’s a long way just to make it to the borderline |
| Jawbone in a box |
| A political action committee |
| Take what you know |
| Throw it down the goddamn privy |
| It’s a long way just to make it to the borderline |
| Vivian, you’ve been a bad girl |
| You took your mother’s lantern and you dropped it in the farmhouse |
| And you burnt down the city |
| Oh you pretty young girl |
| Well you never had a chance |
| Built your house on a drawbridge |
| You thought it would protect you but the flames they travel fast here |
| And they’re coming out to get you |
| Oh you pretty young girl |
| Well you never had a chance |
| And it’s a long way just to make it to the borderline |
| And it’s a long way just to make it to the borderline |
