Way of the Charlatan

Snake oil salesman
Sole purveyor of all easy fixes
He peddles his wares
Wrapped in pseudo- science
In defiance of the truth
Inferred credentials
Are essential to his cunning plan
He ain't got no stage fright
Always seeking the limelight
Surrounding himself with the stars

Defaming the critics
"They're intolerant"

The sick have themselves to blame
But fear not, for there is a remedy
He will intervene
Just let him talk to your spleen
Turn some atoms, reverse aging
Clean out the stains of your vulva

Attacking the critics
"They're in denial of reality!"

It's the way of the charlatan
Demagogue of the desperate
Dressing up as a savior
For he is the chosen one!
It's the way of the charlatan

For a neat little price
He'll surely be nice
Solve the problem he invented for you
As you do the work
He will just smirk
Knowing that he had you fooled!

"All the critics are bullies"
Is the chorus of his song

It's the way of the charlatan
Demagogue of the desperate
Dressing up as a saviour
For he is the chosen one!
It's the way of the charlatan
Demagogue of the desperate
Erratic behavior
For he is the chosen one!
It's the way of the charlatan

He wants you to worship him
Demigod of mental alchemy
Line his pockets with silver and
Masturbate his mind!

Attacking the critics
"They're in denial of reality!"

It's the way of the charlatan
Demagogue of the desperate
Dressing up as a saviour
For he is the chosen one!
It's the way of the charlatan
Demagogue of the desperate
Dressing up as a saviour
For he is the chosen one!
It's the way of the charlatan
