The Lyrics
Tax time comes April 15th
And thus we strain to get money
They won’t take bribes, Must pay the fees
Or else they’ll claim plasma TVs
My credit card's an empty well
Sold model trains, need more to sell
The taxman came, ignored my plead
And now I’m stuck with bankruptcy
Turned off my water, baths are erased
My toilet is all that remains
The IRS just wins they have no souls
Home heating now is open flame
Internet’s stolen, and I want it back!
There goes my sewage with one final smack
Can’t pay my bills
Turned off my lights
Can’t pay my bills
This really bites!
Trash is huge with no garbage days
Bags keep on spilling out globs
Living like cavemen inside of my den
My wife yells, “Go get a job!”
Sharing the Friskies inside my cat’s bowl*
Burning my couch to keep warm by the coals
To pay off bills
Checked classified!
Lost all life’s frills
No car to drive!
[Wicked guitar solo… Can’t afford a real guitar so it’s an air guitar]
Want… Fries… With… That…
At…. Mc…. Don…. ALDS!!!!!
McJob pays bills
Cooking French Fries!
My wife sells kilts
To Scottish guys!
We have no skills
But still we try!
There’s tons of bills
All Super-SIZED!!!!!!
And thus we strain to get money
They won’t take bribes, Must pay the fees
Or else they’ll claim plasma TVs
My credit card's an empty well
Sold model trains, need more to sell
The taxman came, ignored my plead
And now I’m stuck with bankruptcy
Turned off my water, baths are erased
My toilet is all that remains
The IRS just wins they have no souls
Home heating now is open flame
Internet’s stolen, and I want it back!
There goes my sewage with one final smack
Can’t pay my bills
Turned off my lights
Can’t pay my bills
This really bites!
Trash is huge with no garbage days
Bags keep on spilling out globs
Living like cavemen inside of my den
My wife yells, “Go get a job!”
Sharing the Friskies inside my cat’s bowl*
Burning my couch to keep warm by the coals
To pay off bills
Checked classified!
Lost all life’s frills
No car to drive!
[Wicked guitar solo… Can’t afford a real guitar so it’s an air guitar]
Want… Fries… With… That…
At…. Mc…. Don…. ALDS!!!!!
McJob pays bills
Cooking French Fries!
My wife sells kilts
To Scottish guys!
We have no skills
But still we try!
There’s tons of bills
All Super-SIZED!!!!!!

I know the feeling... though I'm not quite ready for a McJob just yet :-)
Squire Matthias, Fav line: my wife makes Kilts for the Scottish gents! Shiverin' ShamRocks . . . Erin go Bragh, Sir !
If votes were tax refunds, you'd be verrrrrrry rich!!! Good one...
Too spelling errors It should be "Checked classifieds" and "ignored my pleas" (My bad... I don't feel it's worth submitting for those two errors though)
Heh, heh... I just caught that now... "Two" not "Too" spelling errors, lol
(Artitrsry) Hey you thought of eating cat food, not dog food, so that's cool. :) This was pretty funny, and very topical; a few minor pacing quibbles here and there. I like how you turned the scream near the coda into a complete sentence.
(Artistry) Yikes. Remind me to find out the Aussie equivelant to the IRS and stay the hell out of their way! $555 for you!
(Artistry) Nice description of the Income Reassignment Service. Their motto is "the more you make, the more we take!" :-)
(Artistry) Pacing wasn't quite perfect, but still all and all this one was pretty good, and right now--I think everyone can relate to 'bills'
