RAISE TAXES
When people are struggling
Their bills they are juggling
When credit scores are muddling
We'll just raise taxes
When private industry is down
And Wall Street is bound
By shady money hounds
We'll just raise taxes
When people lose their homes
As banks double the rates on their loans
Into the streets they will roam
We'll just raise taxes
Do politicians really care
If what they're doing is fair
They can hide in their mistresses lairs
And we'll just raise taxes
Businessmen they are not
They seem to have forgot
The budget is shot
So we have to raise taxes
Our homes they will screen
Because they want us to go green
Cooperate or they could place a lien
And we'll surely raise taxes
Some are too big too fail
For them the government will bail
But for us we'll just go to jail
If we don't pay our taxes...
