Arcwelder - Snake Oil lyrics

(s macdonald) I've an appointment today with a cultural slave to the snakepit called the music biz So I'm hanging around just to meet this clown who lies and says the pleasure is his He seems to think I'll be impressed by the hair upon his chest 'Cause his shirt's unbu*toned down to his navel He begins to decree that the problem is me I want out of here as soon as I'm able (chorus) Snake oil man He draws a line in the sand And he dares you to cross it 'Cause he knows that you won't Take it all away Sell it for gain Take away everything And you can never have it again He praises to excess the current success of a new band past the million mark That was two years ago and he should have known that today nobody knows who they are His ideals revolve around how we should kneel down And give service to his symbol of power I've got myself in a jam 'cause I don't know where I am I've had enough of this waste of an hour (chorus) The uphill climb Is not worth the time How can he sleep at night Power is a crime (chorus)
