Lyrics Snake Oil - Something Clever

Snake Oil

They peddle dreams to the uninformed
A blink of an eye and the heart is torn
Money and trust have parted ways
They’ll drain the life right out of you
There’s really nothing you can do
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they’re skipping town
A sleazy smile and a beckoning call
The likes of which will end us all
Hope and faith have parted ways
They’ll choke the life right out of you
There’s really nothing you can do
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they’re skipping town
There’s a sucker born every minute… which one are you?
Don’t…blink…you're on your own
Don’t…blink…you're on your own
Don’t…blink…you're on your own
Don’t…blink…you're on your own
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
You think they really need you?
Oh, come on…
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they’re skipping town
You’re on your own, you’re on your own
You’re on your own, you’re on your own
