Song Information:

Since we're going into an election year I thought it might be appropriate to post this song as a reminder and warning to all the politicians that we do have a say as to how long they will hold their jobs if they don't watch what they do as far as taxes are concerned.

If we could only get them to pass the FairTax law pending in congress.

Well anyway I wrote this song in 1990, and it's as true today as it was back then.

Hope you enjoy it.

Verse I
I was listenin' to some friends of mine, talkin' 'bout their lives
About how much money they got paid, how much was paid they're wives
But the thread of commonality, in all they said was clear
No matter how much each one made, the taxes were too dear

Chorus
I said hey Mr. Taxman, give us a break. We've had just about all that we can take
You can't keep takin' and expectin' us to give, Yeah. Before too long there won't be enough for us to live.
We pay taxes on a business, then there's taxes on a sale. State and federal income tax, or else we go to jail.
Excise tax and real estate, the list goes on and on. If you though you'd get away with it, you' d tax us in the john.
I said hey Mr. Taxman, give us a break. Ha. We've had just about all we're gonna take. Yeah

Instrumental Bridge

Mr. Taxman - Yeah yeah Hey Mr. Taxman. Hey Mr. Taxman - Hey hey Mr. Taxman
It's pitiful the way you take from us. And don't give nothin' back. Except a hard time. Yeah you' d better listen up

Verse II
We're watchin' everything you do, when your up on the hill.
We're gonna see the way you vote, on every spending bill.
And if we don't get some tax relief and we don't get it fast. The term of office that your in, it's gonna be your last

Final Chorus
I said hey Mr. Taxman, give us a break. We've had just about all we're gonna take
You can't keep taking and expecting us to give. Yeah before too long there won't be enough for us to live
We pay taxes on a business, then taxes on a sale. State and federal income tax, or else you send us to jail. Hah.
We got excise tax and real estate, and the list goes on and on.
If you thought you' d get away with it you' d tax us in the john
Yeah. I said hey Mr. Taxman, give us a break. We've had just about all we're gonna take. Yeah
Said Hey Mr. Taxman, Yeah Hey Mr. Taxman

Hey Mr. Taxman Hey Mr. Taxman

Are you listening, You better pay attention son. Hah

Your job is at stake, Yeah Yeah Mr Taxman, Mr. Taxman, Mr. Taxman. Yeah. Hey Hey Hey Mr. Taxman.
