Well it's the same old story, but it never made a lick of sense to me How it's always on the working man to pay for everything we never see Do you know what I mean? Well you can call it what you like But where I come from, they call it the Squeeze All this talk about some changes It's just politicians promising the moon So it's do without, it's in and out The fools on the Hill gonna need more soon Well you can call it that you like But where I come from they call it the squeeze put the squeeze on me yeah, they're gonna put the squeeze on me and you And they say don't drink the water Could be something in your coffee or your tea And who knows just what's in the air? You take a chance now every time you breathe Well you can call it what you like But where I come from, they call it the squeeze So you work two jobs to get ahead You wind up with less than you had before do you know what I mean? And if money can't buy happiness Then why do I keep needin' more and more? Well you can call it what you like But where I come from they call it the squeeze But that don't make it right just don't give up don't give in Call it anything you like, Where I come from They call it the squeeze
