Taxman, Mr Thief (late show 6/4/77) Songtext
von Cheap Trick

This is called taxman

You work hard, you make money
There ain′t no one in this world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now the taxman is out to get you

You worked hard and you slaved and slaved for years
You plead and you plead and plead for years

He hates you, he loves money
And he'll steal your shit and think that it′s funny
Like the Beatles, he ain't human
Now the taxman is out to get you

You worked hard and slaved and slaved for years
And you plead, break your back
Well, it's just not fair

Taxman, Mr. Heath
He′s looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He′s looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah, yeah


Taxman, Mr. Heath

Taxman he′s a thief
He's looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah, yeah

You work hard, you make money
There ain′t no one in this world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now the taxman is out to get you

You worked hard and you slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot
Well, it's just not fair

Taxman, Mr. Heath
He′s looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, he's a thief
He's looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah, yeah

Taxman, Mr. Heath
He′s looking for a run-in, yeah

He's looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah, yeah
