I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal
I thought we had agreed
That we were in this together
But now that you have betrayed me
I got no other option
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You can always smell a stinkin' tattletale
Come out of a shell I think so they can break the link
When everyone knows it squeals and that is just as well
A kiss of death goes out to those who rat and fink
Why'd you squeal
But I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it - hey
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You dirty rat
I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - Did you profit
Well tell me all the gossip
Why'd you squeal
I hear the leaky faucet
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
Kill the narc who wrote it and said it
Who's the narc who wrote it and said itCould've been a politician
Tell people what to do
With intellectual vision
Hell, I could lie to you
Could've been the inspiration
For a love song or a prayer
Maybe start a new religion
Would anybody really care
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me somehow
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me
Well I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about
Waitin' for the world to go 'round
It's gonna be me, gonna be me
Not should've, it's gonna be me
Somehow, yeah yeah, somehow, yeah yeah
Could've been on television
Just one more talking head
Sell you an apparition
Buy this, and you'll wind up dead
If there's a God above
I shouldn't be so bad
It's open to interpretation
The best time that we never had
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me somehow
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me
Well I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about
Waitin' for the world to go 'round
It' gonna be me, gonna be me
Not should've, it's gonna be me
Somehow
You beat yourself up over the thing you say
And someone else is losing their life today
Before you walk away
Start givin it up, livin' it up, 'til you drop, you gotta
Diddle it up, diddle it up, up 'til you - hey - hey
It's gonna be me, gonna be me
I'll promise it's gonna be me
Somehow
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me somehow
Could've been, should've been
Could've been me
Well I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about
Waitin' for the world to go 'round
It's gonna be me, gonna be me
This time it's gonna be me
Somehow, someway, somehow
Somehow, someway
It's gonna be me, gonna be me
Not should've, it's gonna be me
Somehow, someway, somehow
