Song of the Hill

Song of the Hill On this hill One thing counts Tax and spend Large amounts I’m afraid we’ve No golden trees We have to tax an income or two We have to tax an income or two boys We got to tax an income or two Tending bar AOC Never served drinks for free Now she has found It’s always your round She orders for the whole country She orders for the whole country, see? She orders for the whole country Take a tip From old Joe Watch his family Income grow No known skills They filled their tills They had a good connection or two They sold a good connection or two boys They got a golden handout or two We’re so kind Can’t you see Flushed with generosity When there’s no more Of your money in store We’ll have to tax an income or two We’ll have to tax an income or two you Got to tax an income or two

Hypocracy and lies on full desplay. Your song portrays this vividly, and truthfully -- the only sides you are taking are those of sanity and morality. Great job, Goeffrey my friend. Blessings!

I am not very familiar with this song, but judging from your fine rhyming, I'll have to check it out. Good luck in the contest, Geoffrey.

So fitting! I’ve decided they’re all conmen and every new program some shill game! They are so brazen—evidence on the nightly news and no one goes to jail.

‘Getting away with it’ is what they do best. We have to hope that more will recognise their chicanery.
