Taxes
Tax their paycheck.
Tax their life.
Tax their husband.
Tax their wife.
Tax them good and tax them hard.
Tax their penalties and interest
paid with their credit card.
Tax their food and their property.
If they refuse to pay, garnish and seize.
Tax the roof over their head.
Tax them after they are dead.
With all I have contributed to the Internal Revenue
I should have complete health care and guaranteed income too.
They say death and taxes are two things in life guaranteed.
I can't prevent my death, but my government isn't getting another dime out of me.
I've gone underground completly.
Soon there will be no record of me.
Yours truly is now a free wheelin gypsy.
