The Beatles - taxman

"Taxman was when I first realised that even though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it away in taxes." 

- Gerorge Harrison 

  Lyrics 

 Let me tell you how it will be 

There's one for you, nineteen for me 

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman 

 Should five per cent appear too small 

Be thankful I don't take it all 

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman 

 If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, 

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. 

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, 

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. 

 Don't ask me what I want it for 

If you don't want to pay some more 

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman 

 Now my advice for those who die 

Declare the pennies on your eyes 

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman 

And you're working for no one but me
