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

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
