| Snake Oil (original) | Snake Oil (traducción) |
|---|---|
| And they said you were a martyr | Y dijeron que eras un mártir |
| And they said you were a saint | Y dijeron que eras un santo |
| And I waited up for hours | Y esperé despierto durante horas |
| Just to see what you might say | Solo para ver lo que podrías decir |
| And you played me like a piper | Y me tocaste como un gaitero |
| All the whistles and the bells | Todos los silbatos y las campanas |
| And you opened up for business | Y te abriste a los negocios |
| And I cleaned off all your shelves | Y limpié todos tus estantes |
| Snake oil | Aceite de serpiente |
| Should have known | debería haber sabido |
| Snake oil | Aceite de serpiente |
| In your bones | En tus huesos |
| And I took it down with water | Y lo bajé con agua |
| And I rubbed it in my wounds | Y lo froté en mis heridas |
| And to my surprise it just | Y para mi sorpresa, solo |
| Made me slippery too | También me hizo resbaladizo |
| When it all came out | Cuando todo salió a la luz |
| You were left there on your own | Te dejaron allí por tu cuenta |
| When it came out | cuando salio |
| We all just said | Todos acabamos de decir |
| «We should have known»… | «Deberíamos haberlo sabido»… |
