The songs of the 50 states
The songs of the 50 states
The time has come for us to sing about a certain place
Where everything is in the control
Of people who are down in a hole 

The songs of the 50 states
The songs of the 50 states
No two alike but each connected by a golden thread
I'll try not to forget all the words
And leave that job to those who have heard

State songs
State songs
I can't wait for my favorite one

I'm not gonna say they're great
I ain't gonna say they ain't
But I recall and will relate the words and music of the 50

The time is nigh for us to sigh about a certain place
Where everything is in the control
Of people who are under the ground

State songs
State songs
I can't wait for my favorite one

I hear the melody the harmony the pounding rhythm
The ideas, notes and words
Every state a different composition
Keeping me awake
Late at night
Can't get them out of my mind

I'm not gonna say they're great
I ain't gonna say they ain't
But I recall and will relate the words and music of the 50

Where everything is in the control
Of men who are controlling my mind
