Well, they’ll tax ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll tax ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll tax ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll tax ya when you’re there all alone

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get taxed

Well, they’ll tax ya when you’re walkin’ ‘long the street
They’ll tax ya when you’re tryin’ to keep your seat
They’ll tax ya when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll tax ya when you’re walkin’ to the door

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get taxed

They’ll tax ya when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll tax ya when you are young and able
They’ll tax ya when you’re tryin’ to make a buck
They’ll tax ya and then they’ll say, “Good luck”

Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get taxed

Well, they’ll tax you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll tax you and then they’ll come back again
They’ll tax you when you’re riding in your car
They’ll tax you when you’re playing your guitar

Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get taxed

Well, they’ll tax you when you walk all alone
They’ll tax you when you are walking home
They’ll tax you and then say you are brave
They’ll tax you when you are set down in your grave

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get taxed
