Lyrics
Take the Money and Run
When I wake up in the morning, the sun begins to shine
Put on my clothes; try to get to work on time.
It's the same old game, and You know the rules
Nothing has changed; it's still played by fools.
I've been working and slaving, just trying to make a dime
The Tax man takes my money, and the boss man, he takes all of my time.
It really blows my mind; he takes all of my time!
The people I vote for, they don't see it my way
They take all of my money, then they give it away
Taxman takes my taxes, boss man takes my time
Congressman takes all of my vote, but the Supreme court really blows my mind
All of the time, it really blows my mind
I've got to get away, take the money and run
You just don't understand, they can't take taxes when you get it with a gun!
Well take the money and run, son of a gun
Well Take the money and run, Take the money and run
Well Take the money and run, Take the money and run
