Me And The IRS

(album: Armed And Crazy - 1978)

Well you can tell them boys at the IRS
This ol' boy, hell I've had enough
The way the big man rakes it in
The little man coughs it up

Well the bite keeps getting bigger
And the paycheck keeps getting small
You know the IRS, they ain't gonna rest
Till they think they've got it all

They got the bluff on a lotta folks
But honeys I ain't one
From now on, I'm keeping my pay
Ain't gonna deduct nothing
Take the 1040 forms and shove 'em
Straighten out their own damn mess
You can write me off
'Cause I ain't giving a dime to the IRS

How can I keep my arm around my woman
With Uncle Sam's hand in my pants?
If I can't pay the fiddler
Well how the hell am I gonna dance?

I don't mind kicking in my fair share
I might even back up and say yes
But the big man plays while the little man pays
So the hell with the IRS

They got the bluff on a lotta folks
But honeys I ain't one
From now on, I'm keeping my pay
Gonna deduct nothing
Take the 1040 forms and shove 'em
Put 'em where the sun don't shine
You can write me off
'Cause I ain't giving a dime to the IRS
You can write me off
'Cause I ain't giving a dime to the IRS
