SNAKE OIL SALESMAN

 

Smiling so gentlemanly

You fill their head with lies

Taking advantage of naivety

As they make their buys

An evil lurks behind

Your agreeable facade

Dollar signs within your eyes

That’s all it means

That’s all it’s ever meant

To you

The curtains closed

You’ve robbed the blind

Along the way

You’ve betrayed the kind

The obsession rages on

Self serving your greed

Taking down morality

And spreading your seed

Gluttony is your master

No shame for your sins

Just sign on the dotted line

And refer all your friends

Your boundary less deceit

So easily overlooked

As your collect his money

And line his pocketbook

You’re the golden one

So wonderful and true

Oh why oh why

Please tell me

Can’t we all be just like you?

Ethics is overrated

Pride is long lost

Keep selling those cars at any cost

That’s all that matters

That’s all that matters

That’s all that fucking matters

To him
