Lyrics

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!
