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
