Oil "Spill"

When you said yes,
I thought you meant yes,
I thought I owned you
like a man owns a dog.

They told me Jesus
said that you were mine
by rights, that we'd
be together always
until I got tired of you.

They told me that in church.

Now, you're bitchin'
and spreadin' rumors,
and spreadin' yourself
around town
until I want to slap you.

What the hell are you thinkin',
you whore?

I was told you'd put out,
but nobody said
you wouldn't listen.

Preacher said you was mine,
and by god, I'll see to that,
damn you to hell,
and when in the fuck
will you stop puttin' out?

You goddamned Earth!
