Jack Bruce - Grease the Wheels lyrics

You say Iv've got no conscience And I'm cold as driven snow So I do a little planning Just to make the money flow Staying well dressed Don't make me into a heel If you're talking civilization You know you've got to grease the wheels You say I got no morals And I'm living high and fine 'Cos I spread some bait around Just to hustle past the lines Call me a looter Don't make me want to squeal If you're talking civilization You know you've got to grease the wheels Don't worry Im not troubled When my workload starts to double And my buildings all come tumblin' down Have to make myself a holiday And wash away those crying sounds... You say that I've been steppin' On the population's feet 'Cos I moved some ammunition And now it's on the street Sniffin' gold spoons Doesn't make me feel unreal (I'm real you know) If your're talking civilization You know you've got to grease the wheels If you're talking civilization You know you've got to grease the wheels
