Me and the Irs
Tax Rebellion Anthem: Defying the IRS Grind
Lyrics
Well you can tell them boys at the IRS*
Expressing frustration with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service).
This ol' boy, hell I've had enough
Conveying a sense of being fed up with the IRS and its actions.
The way the big man rakes it in
Highlighting the disparity in income distribution between the wealthy ("big man") and the less privileged ("little man").
The little man coughs it up
Indicating that the less privileged are burdened with financial obligations.
Well the bite keeps gettin' bigger
Describing an increasing financial burden.
And the paycheck keeps gettin' small
Noting a decreasing income despite hard work.
You know the IRS, they ain't gonna rest
Asserting that the IRS relentlessly pursues every penny owed.
Til they think they've got it all
Emphasizing the IRS's determination to collect all owed taxes.
They got the bluff on a lotta folks
Suggesting that the IRS uses tactics of deception or intimidation.
But honeys I ain't one
Stating the singer won't be deceived or intimidated by the IRS.
From now on, I'm keepin' my pay
Declaring the intention to keep the full paycheck without deductions.
Ain't gonna deduct nothin'
Reiterating the decision not to allow any deductions from the paycheck.
Take the 1040 forms and shove 'em
Rejecting the idea of completing IRS tax forms (1040 forms).
Straighten out their own damn mess
Advocating for the IRS to address its own problems without the singer's involvement.
You can write me off
Offering to be excluded or disregarded for tax purposes.
Cuz I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS
Affirming the refusal to give any money to the IRS.
How can I keep my arm around my woman
Pondering the difficulty of maintaining a relationship with the intrusion of the IRS.
With Uncle Sam's hand in my pants?
Expressing discomfort with the IRS's involvement in personal finances.
If I can't pay the fiddler
Raising a rhetorical question about dancing without the means to pay for it.
Well how the hell am I gonna dance?
Questioning how one can enjoy life without financial resources.
I don't mind kickin' in my fair share
Expressing willingness to contribute a fair share but not more.
I might even back up and say yes
Considering cooperation but with limitations.
But the big man plays while the little man pays
Highlighting the imbalance in how the wealthy and less privileged are treated by the IRS.
So the hell with the IRS
Rejecting compliance with the IRS and its demands.
They got the bluff on a lotta folks
Reiterating that the singer won't be deceived or intimidated by the IRS.
But honeys I ain't one
Restating the commitment to keep the full paycheck without deductions.
From now on, I'm keepin' my pay
Reaffirming the decision not to allow any deductions from the paycheck.
Gonna deduct nothin'
Declaring the intention not to complete IRS tax forms (1040 forms).
Take the 1040 forms and shove 'em
Suggesting a disrespectful action toward IRS forms.
Put 'em where the sun don't shine
Emphasizing the singer's disdain for the IRS forms.
You can write me off
Repeating the willingness to be excluded or disregarded for tax purposes.
Cuz I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS
Reiterating the refusal to give any money to the IRS.
You can write me off
Offering to be excluded or disregarded for tax purposes (repetition).
Cuz I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS
Reaffirming the refusal to give any money to the IRS (repetition).
