Taxman Blues

歌詞

Verse 1 They take my money, every dime, Say it’s for the greater good, but it's a crime. Working hard just to stay afloat, But the taxman's hands are on my throat. Roads are cracked, the schools are broke, Where does all my money go? Politicians laughing loud, Living high while we bow down. Chorus Oh, the taxman’s got me tied, No matter how I run, nowhere to hide. They steal my sweat, they steal my time, Tell me how is this justified? Pay your dues, they always say, Yet the rich keep finding ways to escape. Loopholes, back doors, secret deals, While the workers drown in unpaid bills. Roads are cracked, the schools are broke, Where does all my money go? Politicians laughing loud, Living high while we bow down. Oh, the taxman’s got me tied, No matter how I run, nowhere to hide. They steal my sweat, they steal my time, Tell me how is this justified? Bridge Raise your voice, we gotta fight, Still they take what they please. Promised change, the same old game, Year by year, it’s all the same. Chorus Oh, the taxman’s got me tied, No matter how I run, nowhere to hide. They steal my sweat, they steal my time, Tell me how is this justified? Bridge Raise your voice, we gotta fight, Stand together, take back our rights. No more lies, no more greed, Give the power back to those in need! Final Chorus Oh, the taxman’s got me tied, But we won’t back down, no, not this time. They steal our sweat, they steal our time, But the fire’s burning in our eyes! Every month, every check, it’s the same old pain… Where my money go? Man, it just fade away… [Verse 1] Wake up early, grindin’ late, Tryna make a livin’ but they take my pay. Bills stack up, stress won’t wait, But the taxman knockin’ at my gate. They say it’s fair, they say it’s right, But my pockets empty every night. Rich get richer, they find a way, While we just tryna see another day. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why I work so hard, But still can’t see no stars? Tell me where my money go? Cuz the streets still full of scars. [Chorus] Oh no, taxman knockin’ on my door, Said I owe, but I just gave him more. Tell me why, tell me why it’s never enough? I work too hard just to live this rough. [Verse 2] Government say they got my back, But I still see homeless in the cracks. Still see schools with broken glass, Still see dreams that never last. I just wanna build my life, But they keep on takin’ mine. Every check, every dime, Got me feelin’ like I’m doin’ time. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why I work so hard, But still can’t see no stars? Tell me where my money go? Cuz the streets still full of scars. [Chorus] Oh no, taxman knockin’ on my door, But damn, will I ever be free?
