Lyrics

Snakes in the Garden

(Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster, Music - M. Novak)


There are snakes in the garden and wolves in the barn
They speak with forked tongues they mean to do harm
They slither and squirm in the light of the day
You can’t believe a single thing that they say


They were raised in a den and told what to think
Skills are honed to be the masters of hoodwink
They have no empathy they have no shame
Feeding on fear are the rules of their gam


CHORUS:

There are snakes in the garden - hard to detect
Snakes in the garden - with fatal affect
Snakes in the garden - they’re hard to expel
Snakes in the garden - we bid farewell


Afraid of the their shadows afraid of change
Equality in the garden’s out of their range
The garden’s at risk from their lethal venom
As if they’re wishing to start of Armageddon

Chorus:

Some snakes are toxic but all snakes bite
Often proven wrong they still claim they’re right
They try to change the outcome at the ballot box
Shedding their old skin they are now on fox


Chorus:
