Snake Oil (蛇油) - Van Der Graaf Generator[00:00:00]

Best of intentions[00:00:05]

Fresh faced devotees display[00:00:07]

Sat at the feet of the master[00:00:09]

Hoping that this is the one true way[00:00:12]

Eager awareness[00:00:22]

Picking the wood from the trees[00:00:24]

Only belief is important[00:00:26]

Only obedience can set them free[00:00:29]

Here come the paraphernalia[00:00:41]

Here come the catch all refrains[00:00:43]

Repeat ad infinitum[00:00:46]

Slavish devotion[00:00:51]

That's how it usually presents[00:00:52]

In an impossibly pompous[00:00:55]

Addiction to doctrines that make no sense[00:00:57]

Anal retention to an astounding degree[00:01:07]

Self absorption is total[00:01:12]

Making obedience compulsory[00:01:14]

If they want to reach the inner mystery[00:01:18]

Welcome to the bats in the belfry[00:01:25]

The buzz words echo around[00:01:28]

Repeated ad infinitum[00:01:31]

Brainwashed and bound to believe in[00:01:35]

The orthodox text slogans on t-shirts[00:01:38]

The punters can't wait to be told[00:01:41]

What to think of next[00:01:43]

What to think of next[00:01:46]

Oh what's coming next[00:01:48]

Well nothing is coming[00:01:54]

And nobody here goes[00:02:04]

In search of the questions posterity might pose[00:02:08]

There's only one answer the believers can allow[00:02:28]

Yes[00:02:38]

Teacher knows best teacher knows best[00:02:45]

Let's put the teacher to the test[00:02:58]

Let's put the teacher to the test[00:03:03]

There's only one answer the disciples will allow out[00:03:51]

Cultish convention repeated again and again[00:04:24]

Until the words have no meaning[00:04:28]

Until the means have become the end[00:04:30]

What starts with self-obsession ends up in self-denial[00:04:41]

They just so want to believe[00:04:46]

Slaves to the snake oil of this particular world[00:04:50]

Maybe just self-referential[00:04:54]

The comfort's in sharing the secret word[00:04:56]

With the picture blurred[00:05:00]

The companionship of the herd[00:05:02]
