Текст песни Snake Oil - Steve Earle

Snake Oil

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 going to get along just fine
Now I’ve been traveling all around
I heard trouble’s come to your town
I’ve got a little something, guaranteed to ease your mind
It’s called Snake Oil y’all, it’s been around for a long, long time
Well, 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, just tell me what you want to hear
Well, you lost your farm so you moved to town
You get a job, they shut the factory down
Now you sit around all day long feeling sad and blue
You need Snake Oil y’all, tell you what I’m going to do
I can heal the sick, I can mend the lame
And the blind shall see again, it’s all the same
Well, ain’t your President good to you
Knocked 'em dead in Libya, Grenada too
Now he’s taking his show a little further down the line
Well, between me and him, people, you’re going to get along just fine
It’s called Snake Oil y’all
Snake Oil y’all, Snake Oil y’all
Called Snake Oil y’all, It’s called Snake Oil y’all
It’s been around for a long, long time
