Taxman
Published April 15th, 2008 in CommentaryThe late George Harrison took a few jabs at oppressive British taxation in the famous song "Taxman".
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxmanShould five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxmanIf you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Taxman!Cos I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
Don’t ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxmanNow my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxmanAnd you’re working for no one but me
Taxman!
On this day I have two words for those idiots in our American government who never seem to have quite enough money to make their pet projects work.
Greedy bastards!
