You Have Nothing

A 35% of you is for the taxman
Twenty days left to own your grind
A 10% of you goes to tithe
For a salvation to find
Leaves you with 55%
But a 50% of you is for your spouse
I told you not claim a better half
And the remaining 5% can be yours or not
If it is snatched by a person who lost 95% 
That leaves you with 0%
That is how you have nothing
