Written to the melody of "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles.
I don't mind paying taxes, but geez, must we get taxed on everything. Before long we will be getting taxed on the air we breath- hold your breathe.
Picture yourself in your state, as a giver
Seeing some of your green, saying- "good-bye"
The government calls- you answer quite slowly
Tax collectors coming, must tighten your tie
Insane powers that take all your green
Take till the time you are dead
They take from some people; without any care
And their gone
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah
They hunt you down to fill up their fountains
Where blue collar workers pull up their flies
Everyone knows that they're all taking showers
Like everyone knows that Superman flies
We keep paying taxes more and more
They're waiting to take it away
They reach in your pockets as deep as they can
And it's gone
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah
Picture yourself without paying taxes
You'd have a lot more money to- "buy"
Politician promiser's run for election
But the taxman is coming, must tighten your tie
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah
