.5. Take It Please Poem by David Threadgold
.5. Take It Please
Born to a world of taxes
All taken without choice
Protest but it’s just pointless
No one hears your voice
Some foods we eat have taxes
The clothes we wear have too
TV for the family home
All licensed if you view
Taxes taken on our wages
In a very subtle way
The more we work the more they take
Directly from our pay
The car you bought had tax on
There’s a tax on all your fuel
A tax to put it on the road
Now road toll tax that’s cruel
They tax us while we’re living
Then tax us when we die
But can they tax us when we’re gone
For sure the taxmen try
