Taxman 2004 Songtext

von Lucky Dube

I pay my gardener
To clean up my garden
I pay my doctor
To check out da other ting

I pay my lawyer
To fight for my rights
And I pay my bodyguard
To guard my body

There' s only one man I pay
But I don' t know what I' m paying for
I' m talking about the taxman
I' m talking about the taxman
I' m talking about the taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

You take from the rich
Take from the poor
You even take from me
Can' t understand it now

I pay for the police
To err, I don' t know why
'Cause if my dollar was good enough
There wouldn't be so much crime

In the streets
They tell me you're a fat man
And you always take and never give

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman
