Snake Oil

My US election ditty - Trump got in anyway :(

Have a listen to SNAKE OIL.

What needs to be said?
An antipodean response to the lunacy that is the Trump "campaign".
Written by Neil Porter, performed by PBGB.
Peter Reid on drums, Mick Nadin on harmonica, Kerry Hynes on vocal and Neil Porter on vocal, bass, guitars and production

Mean Mr Mustard
Got his foot in the door
I don’t understand
What you opened it for
Drop your guard 
And he’ll walk right in
Oozing that snake oil
On everything

Chorus:
Snake oil, snake oil
Come and get your snake oil
And you’ll stay alive
Til a hundred and ten
Snake oil, snake oil
Buy my fine snake oil
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been

Mass hypnosis
Wild tirade
He’s got all the skills
Of the snake oil trade
Big on slogans
Small on hands
Gonna make America
Snake again

Snake oil, snake oil
Come and get your snake oil
And you’ll stay alive
Til a hundred and ten
Snake oil, snake oil
Buy my fine snake oil
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been

Money on the counter
He’ll give us all a case
Snake oil man 
In a snake oil race
Drop your guard 
And he’ll walk right in
Oozing that snake oil
On everything

Snake oil, snake oil
Come and get your snake oil
And you’ll stay alive
Til a hundred and ten
Snake oil, snake oil
Buy my fine snake oil
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been

Gonna make you richer 
Gonna make you richer 
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been
Snake oil, snake oil
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been
