Lyrics

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Oh. ooh yeah, yeah

Well it's the same old story
But it never made a lick of sense to me
No, no, no. tell 'em
How it's always on the workin' man
Pay for everything we never see
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
Wooh, tell 'em
So it's do without, it's in and out
The fools on the hill
Gonna need more soon, yeah
Yeah you can call it what you like
But where I come from they call it the squeeze
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Put the squeeze on me
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
They're squeezin' me and you
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah

They say "don't drink the water
Could be something in your coffee or your tea."
Ooh yeah, and who knows just what's in the air
You take a chance now every time you breathe
You can call it what you like
But where I come from they call it the squeeze
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Put the squeeze on me
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
You know I put the squeeze on me and you
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Put the squeeze on you
They gonna put the squeeze on ya, ooh

Oh you work two jobs to get ahead
You wind up with less than you had before
You know what I mean
And if money can't buy happiness
Then why do I keep needin' more and more?
Needin' more and more
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
You can call it what you like
But where I come from they call it the squeeze
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
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Put the squeeze on me
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Now you know they put the squeeze on you
Squeeze yeah
Ah, put the squeeze on me, baby
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, yeah
Me and you, me and you, me and you
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
Squeeze on you
Well they have to put the squeeze on me
