Lyrics
Snake Oil Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 heavens 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
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
Everybody let's keep the peace
