Tax Time
Count the money in my pocket
Count the coins for my eyes
Count the dollars my daddy gave you,
For when the Angel's say goodbye
Remember, my momma told me when I was far too young to know
That there would be senseless people everywhere I go
Asking for my answers, asking for my time
Each and every one of them blaming me for crime
Just as if I had the answers, for things they thought I knew
Then they took my memories, claiming they weren't true
Creating things for charity by billing working kids
Causing future havoc, that the world must now rid
Count the money in my pocket
Count the coins for my eyes
Count the dollars my daddy gave you,
For when the Angel's say goodbye
