Lyrics:
it
Or I know I'll never fit
This snake oil salesman's discarded skin
My missed calls are building up
They've started towering well above my engineer
looking than I expected
And it seems that my elders and my betters are liars and charlatans
Given a choice between snake oil or broken dreams, I choose
you've told it thru time, you liar
Can't sell this snake oil as wine
But you've sold it and dined, you coward
It's showing on all screens
They've aired
Frail minds drowning in snake oil
Holy spirit please cover my eyes
Elevated from these novice naysayers
For the sake of all human kind
I smash
Trangressions becoming virtues, in this tapestry of lies
With the snake oil blues...
It's trial by ordeal, the ends justify the means
It's a war for the mind in
You're running out of time
Just to feel alive
Sell your bottles
Sell your tablets
Holding back the working classes
Snake oil seller
You're the devil
I ain't sellin' no snake oil
Coke nor amphetamine
And i ain't got no Hadacol
Brown liquor can't set you free
No, I 've got something y'all need
Snake oil can't fix a broken man
Drink from the well of poison waters
I have been buried alive
For all my crimes
This vicious cycle will carry on
Bad
affiliations turn the citizens to slaves
Dividing up the nation yet we're bonded by the same chains
These snake oil salesmen always say they promise change
Riding across deserted lands
Covered now with thoughts obscene
Hold up now your debt of weakness
Snake oil visions smoke filled dreams
Don't look
a bottle of pills
A fine shine it will get you killed
I'm writing rhymes look at my still
Bought a bottle snake oil
And it was against my will
I was told it
Shall we begin?
Gather round, gather all:
Keep it real, strip it down
Rather not wait around
With the Hungry Eyes of a snake-oil salesman
Go sell your snake oil to someone you used to know
I've heard your whining till my motor just won't go
The sky ain't falling though I know you
to hell and back
I've got potions, snake oil style
Good luck charms and a witch's spell
Mm, they're sellin' snake oil from the pulpit
At the church on Main
They're makin' deals with the devil
In the good Lord's name
I'm stuck at home
Setting snake oil
To the nation
All the specials
Every rerun
All the penguins
Getting well-done
It's A Mystery
It's A Mystery
How the heart beats
How
for you
It's my personal snake oil
It's just something I do
I'm the jester with no tears
And I'm playing on your fears
I'm a trickster smiling
Snake oil and roses, pockets of dirt
Hands of a fortune teller's son
Young love shaking the earth, like a heart shot out of a gun
Lips like
for you
It's my personal snake oil
It's just something I do
I'm the jester with no tears
And I'm playing on your fears
I'm a trickster smiling
Snake oil
At the dog and pony show
In the garden gee
Would you pardon me
And by the way how does it grow
The explanation's unexplainable
Holding
the president
Or the insiders and outlaws sellin' snake oil from the tent
A fressh breath of honesty would sure be heaven sent
But politics is politics,
Yup
Everyone fell fast and hard around here
Like, uh, snake oil with a hefty price tag
Hitchin' a ride, the desert won't hide me no more
Let me
snake-oil you were selling
Wasn't that you? Wasn't that me?
You say "Why, why, why
Why, why, why
Why, why, why
Don't you love me?"
On the brink
Probably not, but people are ready to buy
Anything, from anybody, any time at all
Snake oils, wristwatch, stardust, he got it all
And it's all half off,
