about

This song was about my ex and her ex. Who she'd sleep with whenever he was in town. His name was actually Douglas. I don't know why I changed the name when the names weren't changed in other songs.

lyrics

I only know his first name
It's Bill, and what's worse
I have no idea what he looks like
I found his number in her purse

If I were a dictator
I'd have my secret police
Round up all the Williams
And crucify them along the streets
