lyrics

People put their money in my guitar case
I give it all away to make the world a better place
I can’t give it to the government they’ll put it in the tar sands
But shush, quiet, don’t tell the taxman

People give me money just to sing em’ a tune
It’s a quarter in December, a nickel in June
I can’t give it to the government they’ll fill another gas can
But shush, quiet, don’t tell the taxman

Taxes are a funny thing, we pay them all the time
Give your government a dollar, they’ll give you back a dime
Except if you’re wealthy, you can break all the laws
Give your money a vacation, send it down to Panama

Property’s a funny thing, we like to draw lines
That side is yours, this side is mine
Except we stole it from the Indians and never gave it back
But shush, quiet, won’t talk about that
