Snake Oil

New boss, same as the old boss
He who hold the sky aloft, the ark pitch-and-toss
Dark bark and moss, paradise lost in a shower of sparks
Warplanes scream into the night
It rains on the just and unjust alike
Butane flame, nimble fingers spin meth pipe
You guessed right, sightseeing with the folks
Squinting into scope, eyes is black dice
Improvised explosive device now you see the light
White phosphorous bright
Black truck, black Moses
Black tar sucked out black oceans
Diesel fumes choking
Blacks in the end zone, gyratin' and boastin'
Dozed off, shotgun broken open
Laid cross his lap, woke to footsteps approaching
Meet the new me, meet the new me
Meet the new me, meet the new me
Meet the new me, meet the new me
Meet the new me, meet the new me
Meet the new me
My supplier got rich and quit
Tucked his hat brim as he dipped
Looking back like might let something slip
But thought better
I've got a mismatched assortment of half-measures
Contents under pressure, empty-handed angry beggar
Rubber-banded sunken treasure
No problem with you, for the record, but never say never
Thick as flies in the sky, bombers let fly
Who lives, lives, who dies, dies
Minimum wage will keep the fryer on high
Rag soaked in turpentine
Every night polish rhymes
'Til CO's see my black scowl in the shine
Head on swivel, prosthetic hand on pistol
Ham on griddle, ribbons of gristle
Found me in the woods, fire low, roach little
Eyes a-glow, mouth full of riddles
Stepped in the woods
Stepped in the woods
Meet the new, meet, meet, meet
Meet the new me
