Squeaky Wheel lyrics
Squeaky Wheel
You gotta look, yeah it's clear as could be
Young fellas always wear their parts on their sleeve
Take what you're feeling, take it from me
And stuff it where the sun don't shine
You really put yourself out on a limb
Right smack dab in the center of attention
You're a balloon in a room full of pens
And your altitude's on the decline
You've got feelings that brand new
Printed in fold all over you
Stop the brass and strut it down
Before the stories circulate in all of a town
Oh, don't be the squeaky wheel
Stay clear of banana fields
Don't make a spectacle be a respectable employee
You'll see it's because we're both over the stage
Folks like you are the act of rage
Squeaky wheels don't get the grease, they get fired
Two hundred people stuffed into a train procession
Slinging tickets in the midst of a depression
Some days we eat, some days we don't
If that's the question,
What would it take
To blow the whole thing up?
Maybe some idiot from Humpty Dumpty Connecticut
Gets it in his head to take a swing before the fences it
Doesn't take a doctorate with physics or arithmetic
To see how you get the rest of us screwed
Don't be the squeaky wheel
Don't spoil a steady meal
Think of the rest of us
Don't make a mess of this old damn thing
Be grateful
You're well employed in our oil machine
Like the hand of Fijian is bound to get me
Squeaky wheels don't get the grease
They drive the whole train up on the tracks
Squeaky wheels don't get the grease
They get sacked!
Marlena has a way of taming what could explode
But there's power leaking out of a keg
It's ready to blow
And you're playing with fire kiddo,
But you ain't the only one who'll burn so
If not for us, then for my lane of safety,
Give her some space, okay?
I won't be the squeaky wheel,
I'll keep an even queue
Just be professional,
Only discretion will guide my steps
We mean it!
I didn't mean to be the cause you're concerned
Just don't play with fire and you won't get burned
Squeaky wheels ain't worth the oil
They get…
Squeaky wheels don't get the oil
They get…
Squeaky wheels don't get the oil they get gone!
