The Book Tax Song - Lyrics by Moxy Fruvous


Lyrics
We think that any government would be a bunch of crooks
If they had the audacity to place a tax on books
But now the hated GST's attacking what we read
Cutting into learning, the basic tools we need
So here's a simple question, answer as you shall
Will you ax the tax on books...and be our bestest pal?
This song was created for Much
Music's 1993 election coverage. A group ofmusicians wereselected and asked to write "
Musical Questions" which would be put tothe leaders of variousparties who were then required to answer them. This is what Moxy came upwith.
