Snake Oil

Names on a billboard
Elephants and donkeys
Red white black and blue
The liars come to town
The smilers gather round
And dance for change
Dance for change
Dance for change

A New York minute
A Hollywood smile
In the spotlight
The shiniest star
In a crowded night
Still fades away
Still fades away
Still fades away

Stained glass windows
Taking bread and wine
Blood on the hands
Down on your knees
Beg forgiveness
And yell at the sky
Yell at the sky
Yell at the sky

I'll drink your snake oil
Your poison promises
I'll swallow it whole
Filled with magic words
And miracles
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
