Taxing Sin
A tax for beer,
a tax for smokes;
So why not tax
sex and dope?
We need the money-
that’s not in doubt,
so tax that hooker
when she puts out!
And tax the dealer
who sells the drugs
to stupid kids
and slimy thugs!
While we’re at it,
let’s regulate
disease and purity
in every state
Let users know
how pure’s the pot;
Inform the johns
of what she’s got
Tax the sales
and income too;
With all that cash
what could we do?
We could feed the hungry
and clothe the poor,
all on the backs
of dealers and whores...
