Snake Oil
Talking heads upon the television
Dereliction of the sleepless souls
Restitution at the rescue mission
Stop them falling deeper down their holes
It's a calling it's a comet falling
Elemental at the end of days
Veneration of the holy schmoly
Subjugation of the quaint old ways
Selling snake oil to the poor and needy
Selling seraphim and salvation
Open up the pearly gates, I'm coming
Home
Jesus wants me
Or does he?
Holy clerics of the intifada
Infidelity of infidels
Escalation of the holy Jihad
Take the innocents and make them soldiers
Take the scripture turn it on it's head and
Take the words but make the meaning suck
Preach the Gospel to the seething masses
They've nothing left to lose
And they don't give a fuck
Selling snake oil to the poor and needy
Selling oblivion and exocets
Get my virgins ready 'cause I'm coming
Home
Allah wants me
I don't believe in all the fairy stories
I'm not a joiner, don't support a team
And I don't understand why people get hooked
On Religion, it's a bogus scheme
So if you really want to make a difference
If you really want to help the poor
Stop the killing, stop the genocidal
Ethnic cleansing based on
Nothing more than prejudice and
No more snake oil, no more jam tomorrow
No more promises of life eternal
It's a fact we all live here and here is
Home
Reason wants me
For a sunbeam
No more snake oil, no more life eternal
Don't keep scaring us with your infernal
Punishments if we don't stay upon your path
You're having a laugh and we can
Make our own way home
Dereliction of the sleepless souls
Restitution at the rescue mission
Stop them falling deeper down their holes
It's a calling it's a comet falling
Elemental at the end of days
Veneration of the holy schmoly
Subjugation of the quaint old ways
Selling snake oil to the poor and needy
Selling seraphim and salvation
Open up the pearly gates, I'm coming
Home
Jesus wants me
Or does he?
Holy clerics of the intifada
Infidelity of infidels
Escalation of the holy Jihad
Take the innocents and make them soldiers
Take the scripture turn it on it's head and
Take the words but make the meaning suck
Preach the Gospel to the seething masses
They've nothing left to lose
And they don't give a fuck
Selling snake oil to the poor and needy
Selling oblivion and exocets
Get my virgins ready 'cause I'm coming
Home
Allah wants me
I don't believe in all the fairy stories
I'm not a joiner, don't support a team
And I don't understand why people get hooked
On Religion, it's a bogus scheme
So if you really want to make a difference
If you really want to help the poor
Stop the killing, stop the genocidal
Ethnic cleansing based on
Nothing more than prejudice and
No more snake oil, no more jam tomorrow
No more promises of life eternal
It's a fact we all live here and here is
Home

No more snake oil, no more life eternal
Don't keep scaring us with your infernal
Punishments if we don't stay upon your path
You're having a laugh and we can
Make our own way home
