Sure gets funny thinkin' 'bout money
Makin' my daily bread
The more you make, the more they take
You never seem to get ahead
You break your backs just to pay your tax
Then you don't like the way that it's spent
Somewhere back we jumped the track
This isn't what the governmeant

Bet my now I've made a hundred thou
But I ain't saved a dime
The IRS came out best
They got my money every time

It caín't be fair when the millionaire
Never has to give them a cent
Sad to say we've lost the way
This isn't what the governmeant

Then the war, don't know what for
Somebody said it had to be fought
I'se sposed to go but I said no
'Cause I'se afraid I might get shot
but here I am on my hands and knees
scrubbin' in my dungarees
I got burned but I finally learned
This isn't what the governmeant
