This Isn't What The Governmeant

(앨범: Baby I'm-A Want You - 1972)

Sure gets funny thinking 'bout money
Making my daily bread,
The more you make, the more they take
You never seem to get ahead,
You break your backs just to pay your tax
Then you don't like the way that it's spent,
Somewhere back we jumped the track
This isn't what the government...

Bet my now I've made a hundred thou
But I ain't saved a dime,
The IRS came out best
They got my money every time,

It can't be fair when the millionaire
Never has to give them a cent,
Sad to say we've lost the way
This isn't what the government...

Then the war, don't know what for
Somebody said it had to be fought,
I've 'sposed to go but I said no
'Cause I've afraid I might get shot,
but here I am on my hands and knees
scrubbing in my dungarees
I got burned but I finally learned
This isn't what the government
