NOW I'D JUST
LIKE TO SAY
A FEW WORDS RIGHT
HERE ABOUT TAXES
I PAY ANOTHER MAN
TO DO MY TAXES
ON ACCOUNT
OF IT'S JUST
ONE MORE DEDUCTION
I CAN TAKE
BUT THE POSTMAN BROUGHT
MY W-2 THIS MORNIN'
AND THIS YEAR
THEY'RE CLAIMIN'
A THIRD OF ALL I MAKE
NOW I'M JUST AS PATRIOTIC
AS THE NEXT MAN
AND YOU KNOW I LOVE THAT
RED WHITE AND BLUE
SO I'LL HELP TO PAY THIS
RISIN' COST OF FREEDOM
BUT I'LL BE DANGED IF I'M GONNA
CHANGE MY POINT OF VIEW
'CAUSE EVERY TIME
THE BUREAUCRATS
RUN OUT OF MONEY
WELL CONGRESS SOCKS
IT TO THE WORKIN' MAN
AND I DON'T THINK IT'S
ONE BIT FUNNY
WHEN THEY TAKE SO
MUCH OF MY MONEY
AND DO THINGS WITH IT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I DON'T KNOW
WHY THEY FEEL
THEY'VE GOTTA
SQUEEZE US
BUT I'LL TELL YOU
JUST EXACTLY
WHERE I STAND
I BELIEVE IF TEN PERCENT
IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR JESUS
WELL IT OUGHTA BE ENOUGH
FOR UNCLE SAM WOH
NOW SOME OF THEM FOLKS
THAT WE'VE BEEN SENDIN'
OFF TO CONGRESS
THINK THAT ALL
THEY'VE GOT TO DO
IS SPEND AND SPEND
BUT YOU KNOW YOU
CAN'T RUN A FAMILY
MUCH LESS A COUNTRY
WITH MORE MONEY GOIN'
OUT THAN COMIN' IN
THAT OLD DEBT
JUST KEEPS ON
GETTIN' BIGGER
AND WE'RE ALL GONNA
HAVE TO PAY
SO DON'T YOU LAUGH
'CAUSE ONE DAY SOON
YOU MIGHT JUST
LOOK DOWN AT
YOUR PAYCHECK
AND FIGURE OUT
THAT THEY
DONE STARTED
TAKIN' HALF
EVERY TIME THE
BUREAUCRATS
RUN OUT OF MONEY
WELL CONGRESS SOCKS
IT TO THE WORKIN' MAN
I DON'T THINK IT'S
ONE BIT FUNNY
WHEN THEY TAKE SO
MUCH OF MY MONEY
AND DO THINGS WITH IT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I DON'T KNOW
WHY THEY FEEL
THEY'VE GOTTA
SQUEEZE US
BUT I'LL TELL YOU
JUST EXACTLY
WHERE I STAND
I BELIEVE IF
TEN PERCENT
IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR JESUS
WELL IT OUGHTA BE
ENOUGH FOR UNCLE SAM
I SAID IF TEN PERCENT
IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR JESUS
WELL IT OUGHTA
BE ENOUGH
YOU KNOW TIMES
ARE GETTIN' TOUGH
IT OUGHTA BE ENOUGH
FOR UNCLE SAM
