Just Tax

They really think they got us where they want us
That we'll be content with what is left
They really heap the load high upon us
Then tell us we had better keep in step

They tax the dollar when you have to earn it
They tax while it sitting in your hand
Then tax it when you have to spend it
They find a way to tax it once again

chorus
They are up there making laws
Laws they know won't obey
But it's people just like us
Who have to pay
They don't care if it kills us
As long as they can Bill us
And no one seem to care anyway
