lyrics

[the tax man]

they tax our grain. they tax our corn.
they tax our wood, our stone, our cattle and our first born.
they tax the armor on our backs and tax the steel to make our arms.
so the tax man gets an arrow to the heart.

they tax our pens. they tax our ink.
they tax the paper saved for records that we keep.
you think you're safe inside your grave? they tax the living and the dead.
so the tax man gets a hatchet to the head.

ne-ver again! (never again!)
ne-ver again! (no, not again!)
i will not suffer tax ever again!
when you see him in the street,
don't be shy, by chance you'll meet?
and the tax man shall not tax ever again!

they tax the land. they they tax the sea.
they tax the air that even they must one day breathe.
they tax everything you need, no bargain here, that's all she wrote!
so the tax man gets a dagger to the throat.

they tax our ale. they tax our mead.
they tax the roads and tax the shoes upon our feet.
do you think they tax your soul? oh, that's too bad, they tax that too!
so the tax man burns in hell and so will you.

ne-ver again! (never again!)
ne-ver again! (no, not again!)
i will not suffer tax ever again!
when you see him in the street,
don't be shy, by chance you'll meet?
and the tax man shall not tax ever again!
