lyrics

I've been home for 26 years
barely starting to find my way around
don't drink the water
don't trust the government
all across this country there's
Snake Oil!
bubbling up from the ground

Michael says his name is Spike now
and he swears he's not against anymore
Natalie is Naty
Brandon is Mary Ann
and I'm losing letters and convictions everyday

So sell me more of the same
I swear I'll buy anything, everything
if you would just go away
I'll buy your cancer and smoke it every day

My best friend is at his wits' end
She doesn't know what to believe in anymore
He thought that love was
She thought that God is
And we're all looking for a
Cure-all!
for being born American

Common sense went out the window
when corporations thought they could fuck and breathe
all hail Rockefeller
all hail the dollar bill
blind eyes to anti-suicide nets in the east

So sell me more of the same
I swear I'll buy anything, everything
if you would just go away
I'll buy your cancer and smoke it every day

America, land of the legal lie
pay no attention to those suits behind the flag
they want a quick fix
they want it done for cheap
and every time they speak there's
Snake Oil!
pouring out of all their mouths

Snake Oil!
and we're drowning from the lies we tell ourselves
