'Taxes' is available on our reset album
Yes, a song about the taxman. About how this institution has lost its regulating power. How the treasury too is enslaved by the market.
Officially, we are all called upon by the treasury to invest in the common needs of our society. But some have become highly proficient in evading that responsibility. The biggest earners contribute close to nothing, leaving the weakest shoulders to bear the heaviest loads.
Spineless and/or corrupt tax collectors exclusively target the smaller companies and natural persons to amass the bulk of revenues. The coffers are filled by the bleeding little man while the high rollers have erected impenetrable legal arguments, sinister shell companies and tax haven off-shore accounts to safely shelter their hoard.
In the spirit of the separation of powers, we would like to know exactly 'who' contributes what? What is that money spent on? How intimate is the relationship between the financial world and our government officials? The linchpin resides in the lack of verification and true accountability of government. They are unchecked in their servitude to the economical masters.

Lyrics
Taxes
I don’t mind a little contribution
I support a proper distribution
You motherfuckers keep avoiding
And we keep sweating, bleeding, toiling
Taxes
Explain it to me
The collectors of death and dust
They are the worst of the worst of the worst
They are the henchmen of fraud and disgust
They are the boneless arms of the unjust
When I said now, I didn’t mean forever
When I said yes, I didn’t mean to all
When I said sure, I didn’t mean to give you any permission to collect your haul
Explain it to me
Taxes
When I said now, I didn’t mean forever
When I said yes, I didn’t mean to all
When I said sure, I didn’t mean to give you any permission to collect your haul
You motherfuckers are not the exception
Death and taxes come for everyone
If you refuse to pay your tolls and levies
You’ll get the wrong end of a hit and run
