Lyrics Taxman - Lucky Dube

I pay my gardener to clean up my garden
I pay my doctor to check out the other ting
I pay my lawyer to fight for my rights
And I pay my bodyguard to guard my body

There's only one man I pay but I don't know what I'm paying for
I'm talking about the taxman (aha-aha)
I'm talking about the taxman (aha-aha)
Whoa, I'm saying the taxman (aha-aha)

You gotta tell me now Mr. Taxman (what have you done for me lately?)
I wanna (Mr Taxman) know where my money goes (what have you done for me lately?)
I'm talking (Mr Taxman) to you, Mr Taxman (what have you done for me lately?)
Tell me now (Mr Taxman) (what have you done for me lately?)
(Mr Taxman)

Two hundred thousand trillion dollars of taxpayers' money disappear every year
Unaccounted for
Even dead man pay tax

You take from the rich
Take from the poor
You even take from me
Can't understand it now

I pay for the police to... ah, I don't know why
'Cause if my dollar was good enough
There wouldn't be so much crime in the streets
They tell me you're a fat man
And you always take and never give

What have you done for me lately, (Mr Taxman)?
What have you done for me lately, (Mr Taxman)?
What have you done for me lately?
