Tekst piosenki
I count the days the Great Frontier
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
I stand in awe of gratefulness
I can and call forgetfulness
And when I, and when I call
The Patient, the Patient fall
The Spirit, the Carpenter
Invites us to be with her
What have we become America?
Soldiers on the Great Frontier!
Carpenter and Soldier, one on one
It’s the battle, volunteer!
Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya--
Run for your life, for your friends, for ya--
American, merica, meri--
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi--
The prairie, the frontier, the perfect farm, it’s from here
The fortress, the faker, the cornerstone, the baker
The dancer, the fisher, audition and the disher
The boxer, the fetcher, the ghweing gum, dream catcher
I count the days the Great Frontier
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
I stand and strain to make ends meet
Five Spirits on the Grand Marquee
And when I, and when I call
The Patient, the Patient fall
The Spirit, the Carpenter
Invites us to be with her
There was a man at the wall
He was grateful for us all
I saw the Wise Woman sing
She wasn’t asking anything
She wasn’t asking anything
How she made the nations sing!
What have we become America?
Soldiers on the Great Frontier!
Run from yourself
From your friends, from ya--
Run for your life
For your friends, for ya--
American, merica, meri--
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi--
The mattress, the floozies, the actress at the movies
The lantern, the lotion, the wind that wakes the ocean
The Standard Edition, the architect’s rendition
The fashion, the fevers, the house we got at Sears
Part II: «Come to Me Only With Playthings Now»
Oh Great Fire of Great Disaster
Oh Great Heaven, oh Great Master
Oh Great Goat, the curse you gave us
Oh Great Ghost, protect and save us
Oh Great River, green with envy
Oh Jane Addams, spirit send thee
Oh Great Trumpet and the singers
(Given what you lost are you better off?)
Oh Great Goodman, King of Swingers
(Given what you had, has it made you mad?)
Oh Great Bears and Bulls, Joe Jackson
(Celebrate the few. Celebrate the new.)
Oh Great Illinois
(It can only start with you)

Czym staliśmy się Ameryką?
Żołnierze na Wielkiej granicy!
Stolarz i żołnierz, jeden na jednego
To bitwa, ochotniku!
Uciekaj od siebie, od przyjaciół, od Ciebie.--
Run for your life, for your friends, for ya--
American, merica, meri--
Illinois, Illinois, Illi--
Preria, granica, idealna farma, to stąd
Twierdza, oszust, kamień węgielny, piekarz
The dancer, The fisher, audition and the disher
The boxer, the fetcher, the ghweing gum, dream catcher
I count the days The Great Frontier

There was a man at the wall
Był wdzięczny za nas wszystkich.
"I saw the Wise Woman sing"
O nic nie pytała.
O nic nie pytała.
Jak ona sprawiła, że narody śpiewają!
Czym staliśmy się Ameryką?
Żołnierze na Wielkiej granicy!
Run from yourself
Od twoich przyjaciół, od Ciebie--
Run for your life
Dla Twoich przyjaciół, dla Ciebie--
American, merica, meri--
Illinois, Illinois, Illi--
The mattress, the floozies, the actress at the movies
Latarnia, balsam, wiatr, który budzi ocean

Moda, gorączka, dom w Sears
Część II: "Come to Me Only With Playthings Now»
Oh Wielki Ogień Wielkiej Katastrofy
O wielkie nieba, o wielki Mistrzu
O wielki Koźle, Klątwa, którą nam dałeś
O wielki duchu, chroń i uratuj nas
Oh Great River, green with envy
Jane Addams, spirit send thee
Oh Great Trumpet and the singers
(Biorąc pod uwagę to, co straciłeś, lepiej Ci będzie?)
Wielki Goodman, Król swingersów
(Biorąc pod uwagę to, co miałeś, czy to cię rozzłościło?)
Oh Great Bears and Bulls, Joe Jackson
(Uczcić kilku. Świętuj nowe.)
Oh Great Illinois
(It can only start with you)
