Snake Oil Capital of the World Songtext

von 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)
This is the snake oil capital of the world x6
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 x3

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
[Chorus]
