Lyrics
TAXES
BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY
THE TAXES THAT THEY
CAUSE ME MUCH DISMAY
THE NEW ONES POP UP
AND I JUST MIGHT GIVE UP
FOR THE HIGHER THEY GET
IT JUST PUTS ME IN DEBT
WHAT CAN I DO
I WISH I COULD SUE
THE POWERS THAT BE
ARE JUST KILLING ME
YEA YEA
THE LIST GETS LONGER
I'M NOT GETTING STRONGER
TRIED HIDING MY LOOT
FROM THE ONES THAT SNOOP
WHAT CAN I DO
I WISH I COULD SUE
THE POWERS THAT BE
ARE JUST KILLING ME
YEA YEA
LUXERY TAX
CORPORATION TAX
FOOD TAX
CAR TAX
PHONE TAX
PLANE TAX
SALES TAX
SERVICE TAX
TAX ON TAX
I'M GONNA MOVE
TO AN ISLAND SOMEWHERE
THEY'LL NEVER FIND ME
I'LL BE HIDING AND FREE
SO GOODBY TO YOU ALL
I'M PUTTING UP A WALL
TO SAVE WHAT I HAVE LEFT
SO I CAN REINVEST
WHAT CAN I DO
I WISH I COULD SUE
THE POWERS THAT BE
ARE JUST KILLING ME
YEA YEA
BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY
THE TAXES THAT THEY
CAUSE ME MUCH DISMAY
THE NEW ONES POP UP
AND I JUST MIGHT GIVE UP
FOR THE HIGHER THEY GET
IT JUST PUTS ME IN DEBT
WHAT CAN I DO
I WISH I COULD SUE
THE POWERS THAT BE
ARE JUST KILLING ME
YEA YEA
