Lucky Dube - Taxman Lyrics

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]

[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]
