"The Squeeze" Lyrics

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
