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]
