Come On, Illinois Lyrics
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
Put your vote 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
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
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
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
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
