As recorded by Tim Branom
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
You worked hard
And you slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot, Well it's just not fair
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah yea
He hates you, he loves money
And he'll steal your #$#! and think that it's funny
Like the Beatles, he ain't human
Now the taxman is out to get you
You worked hard
And you slaved and slaved for years
You played
And you played and played for years
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah yeah
Guitar Solo
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
You worked hard
And you slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot, Well it's just not fair
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Thief
Is looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah yeah yeah
Taxman, Mr. Thief (Watch his diamonds shining)
Is looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Thief (Watch his diamonds shine)
Is looking for a run-in, a run-in yeah yeah yeah
