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 (da da da da da da) 



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, 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, in Effington!
