lyrics

Rhode Island, maritime, 1214 square miles
Architects of cumberlandite, dropouts from Brown
Lovecraftian as anchors fall in Little Portugal
Plan 9 from Providence, its streets so bare

Where do you stand, Rhode Island? when your ground keeps giving way
And you're not even an island
Run to the hills, oh wait that's right, you're just a coastal floodplain
Just an umbrella factory
What did you grow on your plantations? and will you ever change your name?
To something that reflects the way you still can't find a reason to be happy
Why did you boycott the convention? were you really that proud of your slaves?
Your tuberculosis vampires?
At the head of Narraganset Bay and down on Aquidneck Isle,
with not much in between except for homelessness and white pride

No man is an island
