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.
