Snake Oil Salesman |
Who knows what’s best |
For this ancient, anxious head |
I keep slipping into reverse |
I keep digging into dead ends |
I keep reading my own thesis |
But I wanna be around |
I just wanna be around |
So you pick the best years |
And I’ll try to show up to them |
I’m not one to know when to speak out or steer clear |
But snake oil salesman, I know what you’ve been selling |
I’m angry with myself because I let myself get sewn up in your stitch |
It’s a poor seam hemmed from |
A heavy hand |
A heavy hand that I got used to |
It’s a site I’ve seen before |
A pure form |
Straight line |
That’s bent to fit, bent to fit |
Well hijacked for cash |
There’s no doubt about that |
I know enough to know |
You’re no good at heart |
There’s no doubt in my mind |
That I could never do that |
Would never do that with you |
So snake oil salesman |
I’m not buying a thing |
I just wish you would leave us… |
It’s a cruel joke from a cruel hand you played |
But I wanna be around |
We’re all gonna stick around |
Enough to see you out |
