Snake Oil Charmer

When the snake oil charmer came through town
He promised everything
And it would happen so fast our heads would spin
He said, "I will give you everything
I will give you everything
Only I can give you what you've been looking for"

The more he spoke,
The more we heard what we wanted to hear
The more he spoke
The more we heard what we wanted to hear
The more he promised
The more we believed

Promises so vague and yet so real
It's like he knows exactly how I feel
With promises so real and yet so vague
It doesn't matter how or if anything changes
The snake oil charmer knows our instincts are base
The snake oil charmer knows our instincts are base

The more he speaks
The more we hear what we want to hear
The more he speaks
The more we hear what we want to hear
The more he promises
The more we believe

He will give us everything!
He will give us everything!
He will give us everything!
He will give us everything!

The more he speaks
The more we hear what we want to hear
The more he speaks
The more we hear what we want to hear
The more he promises
The more we believe
