You Make It, They Take It Songtext

von The Paladins

Income taxman's a knocking on my door yelling
Money Money (money money money)
Income taxman yelling out for more
Money Money (money money money)

Cause when you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)

I was so happy just the other day
My bossman he gave me a raise in my pay
But the income tax come and took it's part
And I didn't have no more than I did from the start
So I worked like a slave the whole day long
Trying to make enough to keep livin' on
But I find that I'm lucky if I make a cent
When the tax comes out for the government

Cause when you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)

Solo: (money money money) 6x

The years went by and my hair turned grey
I knew it wasn't long before this boy passed away
So I went to the cemetary bought me a lot
And I had to pay a tax on the lot I got
Now to me that's a shame and a sad disgrace
When a man is paying tax on his resting place
'Cause you don't live but once so I don't see why?
You gotta pay tax before you lay down and die

Cause when you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)
When you make it, they take it (money money money)

Money money money (fade)
