Snake Oil - Something Clever

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
