Snake Oil Capital of the World

Snake Oil Capital of the World - Graham Parker & The Rumour

I bought right into this

Sucked right in by a devil's kiss

So sweet and poisonous

But all substance did it lack

Left my system out of whack

And I want my money back

Good luck with that jack

The snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Oh yeah

Snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Oh yeah

It was a house of cards

Fell apart in a million shards

It hit me very hard

You sold me a bag of air

Gave me a bible made me swear

The old weird America

Never went anywhere

Snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Snake oil capital of the world

Oh yeah

Snake oil capital

I practise mass hypnosis

You'll get sucked in by osmosis

But here comes my gnostic gnosis

And guess what my gross is

I'm suffering from psychosis

But I'll give you my diagnosis

You need my medicine

In massive doses

Don't run against the tide

Don't turn around and hide

Don't stand up for your side

It's the wrong one

Don't think that you can think

Don't blink you have to blink

Don't drink you have to drink

And that dose is a strong one
