Lyrics Lucky Dube – Taxman
Text:
I pay my gardener
To clean up my garden
I pay my doctor
To check out da 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
x3
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
x3
Chorus: x4
What have you done for me lately
Mr taxman
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 err… 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
Chorus: till fade
