Steve Earle - Snake Oil Lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, attention pleaseCome in close so everyone can seeI got a tale to tellA listen dont cost a dimeAnd if you believe that were gonna get along just fineNow Ive been travelin all aroundI heard troubles come to your townWell Ive got a little somethinGuaranteed to ease your mindIts call snake oil yallIts been around for a long, long timeSay, your cropsll burn if it dont rain soonAint seen a drop since the tenth of juneWell I can open up the skyPeople never fearIf you aint impressed yet, just tell me what you wanna hearWell you lost your farm so you moved to townYou get a job, they shut the factory downNow you sit around all day long feelin sad and blueYou need snake oil yall, tell you what Im gonna doI can heal the sick, I can mend the lameAnd the blind shall see again, its all the sameWell aint your president good to youKnocked em dead in libya, grenada tooNow hes taking his show a little further down the lineWell, tween me and him people, youre gonna get along just fine
