If there's a God,
he is laughing at us
and our football team
Effington could
be a wonderful effing place
I can see it from the highway
and I'm wondering
Are they effing in their yards
Effing in their cars
Effing in the trailers in the
back roads and the parking lots
of Effington Making
my way to Normal, Illinois
Maybe I should ditch this little
white rental on the interstate
start a new effing
life in Effington
I could change my name
grow a beard start a family
or I could just keep on
moving on, moving on,
moving on, moving on
and not stop 'til I get to Normal
I want to live in Effington
I want to die there too
Please bury me in Effington
in Effington, in Effington, oh
I've got this movie
in my mind of Effington
and the soundtrack
to it sounds like this
I want to live in Effington
I want to die there too
Please bury me in Effington
in Effington in Effington, oh
If there's a God
he is laughing at us
and our football team.
And then the people
who live in Normal
can buy the movies
that I'll make in Effington
that's what Normal people do
Do Normal people do it too
Normal people do it,
Normal people do it,
people do it, people do it
people do it
I want to live in Effington
I want to die there too
Please bury me in Effington
in Effington, in Effington,
in Effington, in Effington,
