Taxman Blues

Walking to town, Going to see the taxman today
Walking to town, Hoping everything is okay
The money’s all gone, I’m going to sing these blues away

W-2 just seemed to disappear
1099 nowhere to be found around here
I’ve got no accountant , no paper trail for this year

Uncle Sam Go my bail
Please don’t put me in jail
Uncle Sam, Give me some time
I didn’t do no crime

I’m doing my part , Buying things to get by
No offshore banking, no loopholes apply
I’m just a working stiff, Just an average guy

Don’t need to itemize, No tax havens for me
Nothing to write off, no Swiss accounts or trustees
I’m barely making ends meet, Mr. Revenuer hear my plea

Uncle Sam, please understand,
I didn't mean you no harm
Uncle Sam, I'm in a jam
Please don't sound the alarm

Don't own a hedge fund , No company cars in my life
Very few deductions, just the cats and my wife,
This trickle down economy has been such trouble and strife

I'm walking to town, gonna see the taxman today
Walking to town, hoping everything is okay
Money's all gone, gonna sing these blues away
