The Sound a Duck Makes by Conspiracy of One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People playing doctor is a growing trend
Using words like "toxins, wellness, natural, alternative, cleanse"
They'll convince you they’re your friend
But all they do is take
Caution is the box we put unproven treatments in
When tested and proved to work, we call it medicine
But this simple doctrine is not the way they operate
[Chorus]
Behind their sanguine smile is nothing but a snake
We have a word for them
What sound does a duck make?
[QUACK!!]
[Verse 2]
Science is their greatest ally, if it supports their claim
But a blind or spiteful evil if it casts them out in shame
And of course they're never the one to blame
It's a conspiracy of the state
In white coats and stethoscopes they camouflage themself
To hunt the vulnerable and gullible gazelle, to strip them of their wealth
And to trust them with your health
Would be a grave mistake
[Chorus]
They’ll hang you up there by your ankles and they'll shake
We have a word for them
What sound does a duck make?
[QUACK!!]
[Bridge]
They promise to cure me of my ails, or to shed me of my weight
They promise what they think I want to hear
They'll promise anything
But after all they give me nothing
They give me nothing
They give me nothing
They give me nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing but heartache
And I feel I'm gonna break...
[Chorus]
And it may be more than just your bank account at stake
Trusting these charlatans, these frauds, these fakes
We have another word for them
What sound does a duck make?
[QUACK!!]
