YOU, YOU AND YOU

Yes, it's true
The government holds the steering
To national development bearing
For they collect taxes, fees and dues.

But what if it starts with you
You, you and you claiming to be common
For you know not where taxes go
But only setting your prices on the go.

You say as we all say
Gov't can make businesses smile 
Normalize the nation, control inflation
With sound and a working regulation

However, contemplate this perspective 
We've all opened our doorways
And embraced the ideals of the west
Thinking it will bring us rest.

We want our business to be free
When we set our prices Gov't to agree.
We pay the taxes we feel like
If Gov't insists prices we spike.

Imagine the potential within us:
Beyond faulting the center, the core,
Our attitude shift could be the remedy
Our inherent capacity holds the key.
