Snake Oil 05:34
Snake Oil Come over here let me spin you a yarn, A cautionary tale of snakes and charms Beware the whispers of the vipers, Spitting their barbs and hawking up lies! They pedal cures, they're seedy profiteers, No conscience themselves just playing on your fears You think you trust in hands that heal you, But really what they wanna do is keep you ill! Chorus That potion you swill why its snake oil for real A means to their way you’ll live to die another day! That potion you swill is gonna keep you ill Healthy human beans don’t turn the bankers’ wheel! Let me take you back to Tittusville 1852 a man named Devil Bill But you all know him better for his son JD First Billionaire Mr Rockafella! Kerosine, Canadian Crude, Drakes well became the ruin for the whole damn world! JD made his fortune buy the grace of black gold, No dissolving this oil there’s tonnes to be sold! Chorus Threat to the Oligarchs, competitions sin, wrapped their hands with glee when prohibition begins Universities Rockafella's circus Bootcamp hives of obedient workers! Strangling the world helped by Ivy Leigh, Never again would the people be free It’s the hold of the oil,, The hold of the money The truth behind the gloss sociopathy Chorus The world is a lie A rich mans trick A Dirty corporation Evil politics Social distortion Inequality They plunder the earth They Poison the sea! They own you They sold yo, Think about it And what you didn’t do x 2

Glass Ceiling Alarm goes off at six Have to get my fix Strong coffee or tea Just about works for me I'm gonna be fuckin late For this job I hate Stuck in this traffic line Never gonna be on time Chorus - I don't wanna work for your company no more I don't wanna work for your country no more I don't wanna work for your country no more ‘cause you lie and you cheat and you change the score!! I have to be at work at eight That's too early mate I don't want to waste my life Working all the time All I wanna do is live my life Not work with all these philistines I dont wanna work for your company no more I dont wanna work for your country no more Chorus I got this feeling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no grass but dust! I'm treading on eggshells whenever I'm with you I'm treading on eggshells whenever I'm with you Every time I open my mouth,The words I wanna find I find migrating to the south!! ….No I will not give you that satisfaction the poison commandeer my brain it's criminal insanity, verging on profanity to think I'd play your silly game Chorus I got this feeling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no grass but dust! Solo Chorus I got this feeling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no greener grass Above your glass ceiling, There ain't no grass but dust!

Glitter Knickers Amongst all this shit and drama, i'm standing holding court my cape is slightly faded and im mostly lost in thought In the mires of melancholy, felt by others all around i'm the one to wield the wand, conjure hope and smiles from frowns I got little wool to weave with, the canvas wearing thin this winter lights awaning, it don't mean we can't begin When the sky is full of clouds, horizon stuck on grey i'm the one to paint the rainbow, throw sunbeams on the day Don't snuff the candle out believe the flame long flickers! get up and when the day seems droll put on my glitter knickers! Gold skinny jeans and daydreams heart naively full of love! holding on to wishes tight so below and as above Chorus: Let the light in! let it find you, let the light in! let it guide you When all the world around, so weary of the age and the life and work unbalance leaves us trapped and caged All the other earthly creatures, sleeping dreaming hidden my task is clear, my glass half full, by magic i am bidden Orchestrating movements, dances of ideas binding loose together bars of effervescent beats Don't mistake me for a glitch my world wide web's the web of wyrd it's the exsitential itch and we must never be afeared! Don't snuff the candle out believe the flame long flickers ! get up and when the day seems droll put on my glitter knickers Gold skinny jeans and daydreams heart naively full of love! holding on to wishes tight so below and as above Chorus: Let the light! in let it find you, let the light in! let it guide you Amongst all this shit and drama, you're standing holding court your cape is slightly faded and your mostly lost in thought In the mires of melancholy, felt by others all around you're the one to wield the wand, conjure hope and smiles from frowns You got little wool to weave with, your canvas wearing thin this winter lights awaing, it don't mean we can't begin When the sky is full of clouds, horizon stuck on grey you're the one to paint the rainbow, throw sunbeams on the day Don't snuff the candle out believe the flame long flickers! get up and when the day seems droll put on your glitter knickers! Gold skinny jeans and daydreams heart naively full of love! holding on to wishes tight so below and as above Chorus: Let the light in! let it find you, let the light in! let it guide you Rose Wood
