You can't be unemployed in this country
That's one thing I never need to fear.
No matter how much time is spent
I'm working for the government
At least half of the year.

That's why I get so downhearted
When I make my annual report.
Cause it's hard to survive with a wife and two children
And three levels of government to support.

It's tax time again
It goes on all year round.
It's tax time again
It's another shake down.
It's tax time again
Till you're buried in the ground

I was barely getting by.
Now they're gonna suck me dry
It's how I know I didn't die.
Why?
It's tax time again.

Well, most of us just want to enjoy life
Pay the tax bill and get on with the show
But it's so complicated, I have to pay a guy
Just to figure out how much I friggin' owe
It's tax time again
The tax man's at the door
It's tax time again
And it's me he's looking for
It's tax time again
He's coming back for more
I had a little put away
I saved it from my meager pay
It was gonna take a holiday
But hey
It's tax time again
