about

Takes place entirely in Illinois, for good or ill. Not sure where "St. John Spit" is though.

lyrics

he was a flunky from st. john spit
he told himself that he was through with it
so tired of driftin and bumming around
he thought he'd cut himself a slice of town
she was a chippie from chicago
the only place she's ever seen before
she does her drinking from a gerbil jar
she keeps beneath the seat of the car
she like to hit it from the get go
she like to hit it from the get go

old cassandra and polly ann
lived together on their father's land
run off the neighbors one by one
shoot out the stars and sleep in the sun
you know in life there are no accidents
flunky creepin up along the fence
flunky he crossed cassandra so
he never gonna flunk no more
he got to hit it from the get go
he got to hit it from the get go
it ain't your business to reason why
you got to do before you die
you got to hit it from the get go
you got to hit it from the get go

roll the credits and fade to black
flunky never gets his dollar back
gonna settle down in kankakee
every evening watching busted tv
there's a message coming from the screen
you got to listen to the in between
he's going to finish all of his chores
to get to what's beneath the floor
he got to get it from the get go
