Cheap Trick – Taxman, Mr. Thief lyrics
You work hard, you make money
There ain't no on in the world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And 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 that it's funny
Like the Beatles, even Dylan
Now the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And slaved and slaved for years
You played
And you played and played for years
Taxman, Mr. Heath (he's a thief)
He's looking for run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Heath (he's a thief)
He's looking for run-in, yeah
You work hard, you make money
There ain't no on in the world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And slaved and slaved for years
Break your back sweat a lot
Well, it's just not fair
Taxman, Mr. Heath (he's a thief)
He's looking for run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Heath (he's a thief)
He's looking for run-in, yeah
