	Story Behind the Song Ever feel like you can't trust a politician? Me neither. This song puts modern politics up against the backdrop of the traveling moonshine vendors of the old west. Just dig the similarities. I sang the vocal, played the bass & rhythm guitars, and programmed the drums. The lead guitar parts were performed by the legendary Tom Young of San Francisco. Thanks Tom! Lyrics The snake oil salesmen are back in town They're dragging out their goods It was just a matter of time Till they showed up in our neighbor hood. They set up shop not far from here In an old deserted lot And the talk already sounds the same As two cars in every pot Chorus Good day now, sir or ma'am I'd like to shake your baby's hand With my kinder, gentler face I'll make the world a better place Expensive suits and endless charm And megawatt smiles Well it's obvious they're oblivious That they're long since out of style They bark at you from TV screens You can't think from all the din They stab each other in the back As they say 'May the best man win' Chorus Bridge Just come on down, you ain't got much to lose You'd be surprised what we can do for you Why would I lie to you Well they've started quite a ruckus And it looks like it's a blast But the same thing happens every time 'Cause the snake oil never lasts So I think I'll keep my distance And I'll hang on to my cash 'Cause they're party's on collision course And it just might be a good crash Chorus Good day now, sir or ma'am Gonna do the best I can Make your choice now, but don't delay Don't make no difference anyway
