lyrics

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
