Escaping Taxes

Hiding within the oval office,
I close down borders and raise taxes,
People will never be free,
Not him nor you or even me
The government owns us all
We pimp your talents and profit off your success
The government owns us all
This country was built on the backs of people
People who are different by the color of their skin
Slavery will never end…
Not as long as we still pay taxes!
Slavery was reformed into the normal working day
Each and every day I work
And who gets their money before I?
Even though they didn’t help,
They didn’t cook or clean. 
But still they get paid before I.
The only way to escape slavery in the US…
Is to simply DIE!
