Taxman (Live in Japan, 1991)

This one's called 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 percent 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, car) I'll tax the street

(If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat

(If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat

(If you take a walk, 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

(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more

(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

If I reduce the jealousy

(Ah, ah, there's more to see)

Get back more in the P-A-D

(Ah, ah, Mr. Bush)

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

(If you cannot hand, hand) I'll tax your hands

(If you cannot pant, pant) I'll tax your pants

(If you wipe your feet, feet) I'll tax the mat

(If you wove a white flag) I'll tax your flags

Now my advice to those who die

(Taxman)

Declare the pennies on your eyes

(Taxman)

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me

(Taxman)

Yes, I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

Thank you very much
