Snake Oil (Live)

Snake Oil (蛇油) (Live) - Steve Earle (史蒂夫-厄爾)/The Dukes

Ladies and gentlemen attention please

Come in close so everyone can see

I got a tale to tell

A listen don't cost a dime

And if you believe that

We're gonna get along just fine

I've been travelin' all around

I heard trouble come to your town

I've got a little somethin'

Guaranteed to ease your mind

It's called Snake Oil y'all

It's been around for a long long time

Way your crops'll burn if it don't rain soon

Ain't seen a drop since the tenth of June

Well I can open up the sky

People have no fear

If you ain't impressed yet

Tell me what you wanna hear

Well you lost your farm so you moved to town

You get a job the factory down

You sit around all day long

Feelin' sad and blue

You need Snake Oil y'all

Tell you what I'm gonna do

I can heal the sick

I can mend the lame

And the blind will see again

It's all the same

Well ain't your President good to you

Knocked 'em dead in Libya Grenada too

He's taking his show a little further

Down the line

Well 'tween me and him people

Who gonna get along just fine

It's call Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all

Snake Oil y'all

It's been around for a long long
