Welcome to the Empire
Where everything's the best
Never mind the downturns
The crumbling infrastructures
Or the crime and all the rest
Check your logic at the gate
And buy into the dream
Fill your heart with fear and hate
And name it "patriotism"
Don't worry, all is really as it seems
Go back to sleep
Hate! Fear! Buy!
Hate! Fear! Buy!
We got your Snake Oil
It makes everything seem all right
Buy the Snake Oil
You can take it all night and it'll get you through your day ok... Yes
Always trust your betters
But believe you'll make it big
Ignore the tightening fetters
And pay your tax! ("that's how it works!")
Never mind the bailouts since
Foreclosures are "in"
Your break is just around the corner
So relax
Maybe take a pill
Doubt, Worry, Buy
No pain, no fuss
Hate, Fear, Buy
It's the Snake Oil
But Buy! Buy! Buy buy buy!
Buy the Snake Oil!
'Cos buy it you must
You're not smart enough to think
But don't worry about that
Not sexy enough to attract
Just play the fool
Just be a troll: it won't make you whole
Because you're worthless, worthless without the
Snake Oil
The base component of society
Snake Oil
Is the plastic in your wallet
But the Snake Oil
Will make you feel like you belong
Our Snake Oil
Will make believers of you and me
It's still better than dealing with your friends and family
It's the Snake Oil
Snake Oil. United
Hate! Fear! Buy!
Hate! Fear! Buy!
