Snake Oil Man
Our wages will dwindle
While our taxes will double
God only knows what will happen tomorrow
Nuclear rain and poisoned Coca-Cola
Only time will tell what it's told to follow
That snake oil man has damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Yeah, I said now, everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Well our means may differ
But our pain is the same
War is just murder with a noble name
That snake oil man has damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Yeah, I said now, everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Yeah, cause it ain't legal
Your rules and your laws
It ain't legal
Your ration of thought
It ain't legal
The terror you start
It's just evil
Ain't no act of God
Come on now everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Yeah, cause it ain't legal
Your rules and your laws
It ain't legal
The terror you start
From the heaven's above
Through the hell below
You will carry us off
And rescue our souls
But that snake oil man
He's damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody we gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace (x8)
While our taxes will double
God only knows what will happen tomorrow
Nuclear rain and poisoned Coca-Cola
Only time will tell what it's told to follow
That snake oil man has damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Yeah, I said now, everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Well our means may differ
But our pain is the same
War is just murder with a noble name
That snake oil man has damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Yeah, I said now, everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Yeah, cause it ain't legal
Your rules and your laws
It ain't legal
Your ration of thought
It ain't legal
The terror you start
It's just evil
Ain't no act of God
Come on now everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Yeah, cause it ain't legal
Your rules and your laws
It ain't legal
The terror you start
From the heaven's above
Through the hell below
You will carry us off
And rescue our souls
But that snake oil man
He's damned the peace from our land
And he's going out softly without blood on his hands
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody we gotta keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace (x8)
