Community Property
Steel Panther Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they're too far away
If you were a hooker, you'd know
I'd be happy to pay
If suddenly you were a guy
I'd be suddenly gay
[Chorus]
Cause my heart belongs to you
My love is pure and true
My heart belongs to you
But my cock is community property
You're the only girl that I like to screw
When I'm not on the road
When I come home, my dinner's made
And the front lawn is mowed
I'll kiss your mouth
Even after you swallow my load
[Chorus]
I wanna make it clear
So you retain it
My dick's a free spirit
And you can't restrain it
No, you just can't chain it down
I love you so much it hurts
From my head to my feet
I think of you and I can't
Help but fondle my meat
I see your face every time
That I go out and cheat
[Chorus]
The song "Community Property" by Steel Panther is a humorous take on love and relationships, as the lyrics imply a sort of possessiveness that is contradicted by the line "my cock is community property". In the first verse, the singer promises to give their significant other the stars in the sky and pay for their services if they were a hooker, but also suggests that they would suddenly become gay if their partner was a man. Despite this, they claim that their heart belongs to their partner, while acknowledging that their genitals are not solely devoted to one person.
The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer only has eyes - and more - for their partner, proclaiming that they are the only person they like to have sex with and expressing appreciation for their domestic chores. However, the chorus once again undercuts this sentiment by reiterating that the singer's genitals are not monogamous. The final verse carries on in this vein, with the singer insisting that their sexual desires cannot be controlled and admitting to cheating on their partner while still professing their love for them.
Overall, "Community Property" is a tongue-in-cheek look at the contradictions and complexities of sexual relationships, poking fun at the idea of possessiveness and monogamy.

That first line just kills me every time. "I would give you the stars in the sky, but they're too far away". Basically just stating the obvious, but also saying that he's not willing to put in any effort for her haha

@Rick C. Then he follows it up with "if you were a hooker -" and I immediately start laughing even harder.
Chris Hoene
It shows he's not willing trying to climb up for her
