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
