Yeah yeah yeah listen up we livin' in a taxed world uh
If you earn it they tax it
If you spend it they tax it
If you save it they tax it
If you invest in it they tax it
If you build it they tax it
If you sell it they tax it
If you live in it they tax it
If you drive it they tax it
If you eat it they tax it
If you drink it they tax it
If you smoke it they tax it
If you give it away they tax it
When you die they tax it
Then they waste it
Money in your pocket think you're free you're mistaken
Governments got their hands out all the time never shaken
From your paycheck to your groceries they takin' a cut
No matter what you do you're in the system shut
Build a house they tax the bricks and the land
Sell it off another fee they got it all planned
Live in it property tax can't escape the demand
Drive your car fuel and road tax understand
If you earn it they tax it
If you spend it they tax it
If you save it they tax it
If you invest in it they tax it
If you build it they tax it
If you sell it they tax it
If you live in it they tax it
If you drive it they tax it
If you eat it they tax it
If you drink it they tax it
If you smoke it they tax it
If you give it away they tax it
When you die they tax it
Then they waste it
Going for a shit they tax it
VAT on every flush they track it
Drink council water they tax it too
Breathing clean air they tax it Its true
Eat a meal sip a drink light a smoke pay the price
Governments squeeze you tight like a vise
Invest in dreams but the profits taxed
Even in death they got a claim on the estate
From birth to the grave every step every breath
If you earn it they tax it
If you spend it they tax it
If you save it they tax it
If you invest in it they tax it
If you build it they tax it
If you sell it they tax it
If you live in it they tax it
If you drive it they tax it
If you eat it they tax it
If you drink it they tax it
If you smoke it they tax it
If you give it away they tax it
When you die they tax it
Then they waste it
Think you're free? Check the fees every angle covered
Governments squeeze you tight like a vise
Work hard play hard doesn't matter what you do
They'll find a way to tax it through and through
If you earn it they tax it
If you spend it they tax it
If you save it they tax it
If you invest in it they tax it
If you build it they tax it
If you sell it they tax it
If you live in it they tax it
If you drive it they tax it
If you eat it they tax it
If you drink it they tax it
If you smoke it they tax it
If you give it away they tax it
When you die they tax it
Then they waste it
Taxed and trapped it's the way of the land
From the cradle to the grave can't escape the demand
They take it all then waste it understand
