Snake Oil Lyrics - Steve Earle

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 

Now I've been travelin' all around 

I heard trouble's come to your town 

I've got a little somethin' 

Guaranteed to ease your mind 

It's call snake oil y'all 

It's been around for a long, long time

Well your crops will 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 want to hear 

Well you lost your farm so you moved to town 

Get a job, they shut the factory down 

Now you sit around all day long feelin' sad and blue 

You need snake oil y'all, tell you what I'm gonna do, step right up 

I can heal the sick and 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 that show, a little further down the line 

'Tween me and him, people, you're gonna get along just fine, hup

Snake oil y'all 

Ah snake oil y'all 

Called snake oil y'all 

It's called snake oil y'all 

It's been around a long long time
