Land of Lincoln
The bearded man with the stove-pipe hat
Rolls uneasy in his tomb
He hailed from the State of Illinois

Once a great region of Prosperity
Politicians have doused Lincoln's torch
The Land of Lincoln
Is a broken dream
For the descendants of an honest man
His image born on a one-cent coin
The Land of Lincoln now shares its worth
Illinois
Now stands for
High taxation
Crooked Politicians
Lottery Deficits
Bankrupt State
Swiped Pensions
Rampant Crime
Non-existent Jobs
Dismal healthcare
Fleeing citizens

Damn, I live here too
