The Taxman's Walt

Lyrics:
[Verse]
In April comes dear Uncle Sam,
With his hand out, oh so grand,
He takes my dimes, my nickels too,
Before I'm through, I'm feeling blue.

[Verse 2]
He said it's fair, he said it's right,
To share my coin beneath his might,
But where it goes, I've wondered long,
Seems Uncle Sam's just spent it wrong.

[Chorus]
Two trillion gone, where did it go?
The taxman's dance, a money show,
While I am left to count my cents,
He's misplaced cash, oh, what pretense!

[Verse 3]
He promised roads and clean street lights,
Yet all I see are endless fights,
The Taxman Waltz, a lively tune,
But I'm still stuck beneath his rune.

[Bridge]
Oh whoops and haws, the ledger's lost,
A simple sum with giant cost,
They call it tax, I call it theft,
Two trillion bucks, lost in the cleft.

[Verse 4]
My paycheck's slim, my wallet trim,
But Uncle’s spending’s always prim,
A tale of woe, a fiscal blight,
In Taxman Waltz, I bid goodnight.
