Trophy Wifey

What will you do when they come for you?
What will you say when they take you away?
How can it be, why can't you see?
This is what they're doing every day, I know

How many years until common law
In the Commonwealth? Why did you leave her?
Did you leave her? What did you leave her?
Why did you leave her with?
How many lives could she have pursued
With some other dude, somebody else
Anybody else? 'Cause she needs respect
This ain't no town for girls

How many years did she cook for you
While you sang your beautiful songs?
How many years did she stick around
While you glad-hand all day long?

I wanna say, who gives a fuck?
'Cause marriage sucks and the Christian soldier's
Not getting older, look at your God
He never meant shit to me

How can you say how to live a life?
Go out and buy a wife, 'cause you really need her
Then you beat her, a man and a woman
That's what marriage is?

Last night I had
The strangest dream
You were a fire
Burnt down my house
You just didn't care
I moved too slow
Slash and burn
I couldn't get out

How many years until common law
In the Commonwealth? Why did you leave her?
Did you leave her? What did you leave her?
Why did you leave her with?
How many lives could she have pursued
With some other dude, somebody else
