Lyrics

VERSE Politicians promise all they can To get elected, to make a better land In a smoke filled room, they're makin' all their plans But when the smoke gets clear, you know it's just a scam BRIDGE I'm just an average ordinary kind of guy Punchin' in at nine, punchin' out at five Doing all I can to pay the bills on time No matter how hard I try, I just can't get by REF Taxed to the max, but we can't get the facts They just tell us what they think we ought to know (We get) taxed to the max, but we don't get it back Someone tell me where the money really goes VERSE Weapon systems, national defense Vested interests, it doesn't make no sense What we think we get, ain't always what we get They keep raising all our taxes, but we get deeper, deeper in debt BRIDGE I'm just an average ordinary kind of man Slightly underpaid, tryin' to understand No matter what I make it's never quite enough I want to do my share, but it just ain't fair
