Bob Rach - Taxation is theft Lyrics

Taxation is theft
It's extortion at best
They take what we make
From what's saved to what's left
Federal state or local demand
They take it all with a heavy hand
What you earn what you spend
What you lose they'll apprehend
Taxation is theft
It's extortion at best
We pay while alive
And after we've left
They don't take to give something back
They take it all under threat of attack
"Hands in the air" the government screams
No one resists; no one dreams
Taxation is theft
It's extortion at best
Rich or poor you'll pay their toll
No escape they'll take control
It's early it's hidden it's always in sight
It's monthly it's constant it's a thief in the night
Inflation sneaks in as a tax in disguise
To drain the creators to fatten the lies
The battle's not fair it's a game of deceit
Producers create while parasites eat
They'll take what you own with no remorse
Their greed is insatiable a relentless force
Taxation is theft
It's extortion at best
They rob what you've earned
With no way to protest
What is theft? It's taking by force
What is tax? The same of course
No consent no approval yet they demand
Taxation is theft across every land
Taxation is theft
It's extortion at best
Rich or poor no one's immune
The government takes and they call it a boon
