LIVING IN THE USA
When you live in USA
All you do is pay and pay
Taxes on the land you own
But the bank has a lien on
Taxes on the house you're in
On the water that you drink.
You pay taxes on your school
But get no education, too
You pay tax to hear the schmucks
Run their mouths
And run amok..
You pay tax on telephone
Your tv, computer zone
You pay tax on gasoline
And what you heat your houses with.
You pay tax to use the roads
You pay tax on alcohol
You pay tax on cigarettes,
Candy, snacks and soda drinks.
You pay tax on movie screens
Tax on concert ticketings.
You pay tax on household goods
Even sometimes on your clothes,
Sometimes even on your food.
For what do we pay taxes for?
So the big-wigs can make wars?
We pay tax on bandages
Tax on abtibiotic cream
We pay tax on aspirin
And toilet paper, of all things
We pay tax on work performed
We pay tax on work that's not
We pay tax
Get nothing back
But a great big kick in the ass.
Prinzessin Hohenzoller
Living in the USA
About 50 years too many
I am an economic captive
To this pseudo-democracy
Which in truth reality
Is a capitalistic megalopoly.
