Taxman, Mr. Thief
Cheap Trick · Original Album Classic [2008]
You work hard, you make money
There ain't no one in this world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now, the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And you slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot
Well, it's just not fair
He hates you, he loves money
And he'll steal your shit and think it is funny
Like the Beatles, even Dylan
Now, the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And you slaved, and slaved for years
You played and you played
And played for years
