is he just saying the name for the fun of it or is there an underlying joke i'm not getting. If this were in another album like Relapse or TES i'd ignore it but Recovery got so many jokes/punchlines that i have a feeling this is one of them.
He'll leave a bruise on the brawn so dark
You can see the mark when it scars, til Abraham Lincoln is screaming out "AHHH!"

He says 'pinch a penny' or something before (i dunno the lyrics by heart), he's talking about him being on the coin.

Get it?
