They'll tax you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll tax you when you win with lady luck
They'll tax you when you're walking down the street
They'll even tax the hot dog that you eat
But would not feel I could relax
Cause everybody must get taxed

They'll tax you when they want to build a road
They'll tax you and your humble abode
They'll tax you when you're registering your car
They'll tax you when you're buying your guitar
But I would not switch and play the sax
Cause everybody must get taxed

They'll tax you when they want to go to war
They'll tax you and they'll make you pay some more
They'll tax you and they'll say they never did
They won't leave you enough to feed your kid
But your kid won't fall through the cracks
Cause everybody must get taxed

They'll tax you on your wages and your tips
They'll tax you and they'll say to read my lips
They'll tax you're lying in your bed
They won't even stop taxing when you're dead
Your family will then pick up the slack
Cause everybody must get taxed
