Wisconsin (i/wɨsˈkɒnsɨn/) is a US state located in the north-central United States and is part of the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin is the 23rd most extensive and the 20th most populous of the 50 United States. Wisconsin's capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee. The state is divided into 72 counties.
The word Wisconsin originates from the name given to the Wisconsin River by one of the Algonquian speaking American Indian groups living in the region at the time of European contact. French explorer Jacques Marquette was the first European to reach the Wisconsin River and record its name, arriving in 1673 and calling the river Meskousing in his journal. This spelling was later corrupted to Ouisconsin by other French explorers, and over time this version became the French name for both the Wisconsin River and the surrounding lands. English speakers anglicized the spelling to its modern form when they began to arrive in greater numbers during the early 19th century. The current spelling was made official by the legislature of Wisconsin Territory in 1845.

They're bustin' unions in Wisconsin
We got mojitos by the pool
We got a talent for distraction
No reaction to the colic and the cruel
They're sinking battleships at midnight
We change the channel on a dime
When they break to a commercial, dress rehearsal
In our catatonic prime
Time is moving on
There's no marching band
Just some fuzzed out credits
Names of strangers
And a night cap in your hand
They're digging ditches in Zuccotti
We're getting famous by the hour
All our pirates are Johnny not Somali
Trading bad seeds for flowers
Everybody's got a ticket and a backstage pass
Everybody's going somewhere, someday
Even the mighty, they won't last
Night I had a dream... you were there
Weaving through the burrows
Down the highline
With daisies in your hair
They're bustin' unions in Toronto
I'm coming down from wishful thinking and the like
I'm sober as a judge
But the jury's out...
Drinking tonight
They're bustin' unions in Wisconsin
And praising Jesus in the schools
They keepin' science in the basement
You ride in the park and youre peaking
Piss pools in your seat
Shes standing inside but you surely repeat
Oh God dont leave me here
I will freeze till the end
Love is loves reprieve
Winter is coming and you're stuck here
Oh and so is she
Now when the wind blows you cover your teeth
I told you to shed away and trade in your blues
Love is loves sad news
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves mystique
Youre up on the bar and your shaking
With every grimy word
Who will love
Whats love when youve hurt
You wonder as you see the snow kissed the curb
Love is loves return
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
