If this was a socialist economy
I would be happy to pay my taxes
But the fact is
What I fund is
What the function is actually serving
Is a windfall turned into suffering
Our labor is supposed to be funding
the shared necessities
Our economy is tanking
Like the Titanic
Collapses, and all the assets
Blow into the bad winds
Land in the pockets of war fiends
With Death dreams
I pay my taxes with
Kicks and screams
While the profiteers patrol us like fascists
With all that blood money, do they get
paid interest?
They’re not acting for humanity
They’re not even human
and for this evil every day we
make our contribution
