Snake Oil |
| Ladies and gentlemen, attention please |
| Come in close so everyone can see |
| I got a tale to tell, a listen don’t cost a dime |
| And if you believe that, we’re gonna get along just fine |
| Now I’ve been travelin' all around |
| I heard trouble’s come to your town |
| Well I’ve got a little somethin' guaranteed to ease your mind |
| It’s call snake oil y’all, it’s been around for a long, long time |
| Say your crops’ll burn if it don’t rain soon |
| Ain’t seen a drop since the tenth of June |
| Well I can open up the sky, people have no fear |
| If you ain’t impressed yet, just tell me what you wanna hear |
| Well you lost your farm, so you moved to town |
| You get a job, they shut the factory down |
| Now you sit around all day long feelin' sad and blue |
| You need snake oil y’all, tell you what I’m gonna do |
| I can heal the sick, I can mend the lame |
| And the blind shall see again, it’s all the same |
| Well ain’t your President good to you |
| Knocked 'em dead in Libya, Grenada, too |
| Now he’s taking his show a little further down the line |
| Well, 'tween me and him people, you’re gonna get along just fine |
