Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You work hard, you make money
There ain't no one in the world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now the Taxman is out to get you
[Verse 2]
You worked hard and slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot, well, it's just not fair
[Verse 3]
He hates you, he loves money
And he'll steal your shit and think that it's funny
Like the Beatles, he ain't human
Now, the Taxman is out to get you
[Verse 4]
You worked hard and ya slaved and slaved for years
You played and you played and played for years
[Verse 5]
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He's lookin' for run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He's lookin' for run-in, a run-in, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He's lookin' for run-in, yeah
Taxman, he's a thief
He's lookin' for run-in, a run-in, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
You work hard, you make money
There ain't no one in this world that can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now, the Taxman is out to get you
[Verse 8]
You worked hard and ya slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot, well, it's just not fair
[Verse 9]
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He's lookin' for run-in, yeah
Taxman, he's a thief
He's lookin' for run-in, a run-in, yeah, yeah
