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

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
