Come on, Illinois
There's a fire in the city
We're making noise
You're burning bright and pretty

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 bo- or- der line
G
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
C
Oh you pretty young girl
C /B /A G
Well you never had a chance
G
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
C
Oh you pretty young girl

And it's a long way just to make it to the bo- or- der line
