Taxman

[Intro]
And you're working for no one but me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me

[Hook]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 2]
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all

[Hook]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 3]
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 the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Don't ask me what I want it for

If you don't want to pay some more

[Verse 5]
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
