Electric Six - Escape From Ohio Lyrics
There were twenty, maybe, twenty-five of us
Drivin' out to California in a bus
We were looking for a good time
And a radio station we could trust
And our mighty chariot turned into a dud
We were stopped there in our tracks, man
Adjacent to some cows chewing their cud
Lord, please send some mercy down to me
50 miles south of Bowling Green...
This will clearly never be my scene
Why does every city start with 'C'?
There's only one sure thing that I know
I've got to get out of Ohio!
They say that what you give is what you're gonna get
It's no wonder everything's gone to shit
Because they've given us John Boehner
You better believe they've given us Jean Schmidt!
And the floodgates of hell have opened wide
It's better to get all politics aside
They're gonna roll out Joe the Plumber
Just to make sure our minds get properly fried
Lord, be merciful and let me die
50 miles south of Lodi
Round on both ends and the middle's high
What's so great about a buckeye?
Whose might is riptide and undertow
There's no escaping from Ohio
I'll never get to feel love
Hey
The walls they are closing in
But I'm just in sight of Michigan
The only way that I'll obtain ya
Is if I get over to Pennsylvania
Except for GBV, and DEVO
Nothing seems to redeem Ohio
It is the state that killed my love
Hey!
Don't you want to come with me
Hey!
And make a break for Kentucky
Hey!
I still got something to put in ya
Hey!
But we'll have to go to West Virginia
And I've heard great things about Indiana, too

Electric Six Escape From Ohio Comments
They will Never Know My planes for World Domination are written on the Bathroom Stalls were I plan them, Mewaaaa Mewaaaa!
There are more Ohioen Astronauts than any other state, so there.
Because they want to get out of Ohio by any means possible
Ah, Fuckupistan USA
As a Hoosier I love how they mention all the bordering states, and throw in Indiana as an afterthought at the end.
Love this one! Now they need to work on a getting out of Illinois song lol
I love Ohio, even tho i don't like it here, I would support it over anything I'd die for Ohio before I would die for the entire U.S.
John Boehner disliked this video
i live in eastern europe so i might not understand it. So anyways, this song is just soooo awesome! But to people here saying that Ohio is that bad... what about it? whats wrong with Ohio? :D
It's a toxic wasteland with roaming cannibals and mutant creatures.
@MountainMoose I don't believe you
I'm from Ohio and I approve of this song.
I'm from Michigan and I can vouch for the validity of this song.
Happens to the best of us.
The only problem with this song is they compare Kentucky favorably to Ohio. As a resident, my advice is: Keep. Freaking. GOING.
Dick Valentine brilliance at work again.
I need to escape!
E6 Rulez....no question...
@VelvetKevorkian GBV and Devo, not TV V. GBV is a rock band, Guided by Voices.
@VelvetKevorkian I have no idea why every lyrics page has that, but I'm pretty sure the line is "except for GBV and Devo," meaning Guided By Voices, which is from Dayton.
@sacredskullkid Lol, it'd probably be a good idea to ditch the state when college football starts up...I once joked about being from Michigan at a bar and...damn...I really got shit for it.
Okay. Take it from a born Ohioan.
THIS SONG IS FUCKING TRUE. To other Ohioans: Get the fuck out!
Lol, but fuck Michigan. Michigan can suck on my Buckeye nuts. Oh, and Idaho, too. Fuck Idaho. Iowa, Kansas, the Dakotas...yeah. You know what, fuck half the United States.
My dad is from Ohio, but he worked his ass off to get the hell out of that state. I am soooo sending this song to him. xD
I'm from Ohio, and this is still one of my favorite songs.
Anytime I go to Toledo for God knows what, I play this song when I'm driving back to Michigan.
John dillinger was in jail.... in ohio!
Man, this song is the best thing ever if you're from anywhere but Ohio and currently stuck in this god-forsaken hellhole of a state.
This song is 1000 times better if you are from Michigan like the E6.
