So my ancestor, Rebecca Eames, was one of the people arrested in the Salem Witch Trials, but got lucky enough to live. Turns out there was a bunch of opium nearby...
Choose wisely your words to not get burned
Hysteria's learned to thrive
If the devil's got your tongue, you're bound to get hung
Pretend it's a lie to survive
Chorus
Nobody's a wizard, nobody's a witch
Just opium growing at a fever pitch
Follow the money, someone's getting rich in Salem
Who affected who? Who affected you?
What is it that's really going on here?
Say the right thing, or your feet will swing
We got no proof, but we don't need it with this mob here
Ch
First they're gonna accuse you
Then they're gonna use toy
Then it's off with your head
'Cause everybody's lost their minds
And paranoia's running blind
Look out our you might end up dead
Then there's no going back
Ch
Someone's getting rich in Salem
Someone's getting rich in Salem

Ooh, very strong lyric!
Hysteria, paranoia running rampant, folks getting rich... history repeating?
Very interesting story about your ancestry going back to the Salem witch trials.

Talk abour fertile ground for material! I love the line “Follow the money, someone’s getting rich in Salem.” That first verse and the chorus are really strong.
