lyrics

I did what your brother couldn't
I broke you and I beat you
It was Paul who told me about you
He's the prophet, he’s the smart one
He knew what was there and he found me
to take it out of the ground
And you know what the funny thing is?
Listen... listen... listen... okay

I paid him ten thousand dollars
Cash in hand, just like that
He has his own company now
A prosperous little business

Three wells producing (stop crying)
Five thousand dollars a week (you sniveling ass)
Three wells producing (stop your nonsense)
Five thousand dollars a week

You're just the afterbirth, Eli.
You slithered out of your mother's filth
They should have put you in a glass jar on a mantelpiece
Where were you when Paul was suckling at your mother’s teat?
Where were you? Who was nursing you, poor Eli?
One of Bandy’s sows? That land has been had

Nothing you can do about it
It's gone, it’s had, you lose
Nothing you can do about it
It's gone, it’s had, you lose

Three wells producing (stop crying)
Five thousand dollars a week (you sniveling ass)
Three wells producing (stop your nonsense)
Five thousand dollars a week

Drainage! Drainage, Eli
You boy, drained dry
Drainage! Drainage, Eli
I’m so sorry
Here, if you have a milkshake
and I have a milkshake and I have a straw
There it is, that's a straw, you see?

And my straw reaches across the room
and starts to drink your milkshake
I drink your milkshake
I drink it up

I drink your milkshake tonight
