Taxman Lyrics

Stevie Ray Vaughan Taxman

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

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

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 those pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for nobody, yes but me

I mean over time, Sundays, holidays
In the grave, in the grave
