“Makin my way downtown
Walkin fast
Faces pass
And I’m home-bound
Starin blankly ahead
Just makin my way
Makin a way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder…”

Another great photo to use against him in 2018. While Rauner skates, the residents of (pick the town, city or village) continue to fill sandbags and try to protect their property from the overflowing rivers and flooding that plagues them.

Meanwhile back in the year one, when you belonged to no-one
You didn’t stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
`Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society
One day you’ll wake up in the Present Day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be.
Skating away
Skating away
Skating away on the thin ice of the New Day.

Though Lake County streams are swollen
Keep them GOPpies rollin’, Rauner-hide
Through rain an’ wind an’ weather
Hellbent for leather
Wishin’ my gal was by my side
All the things I’m missin’
Competent staff, an’ Goldberg’s dissin’
Are waitin’ for the end of my ride
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Head ‘em up, move ‘em on
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up
Rauner-hide
