1040 Blues

Today is Tax Day and the Tea Party is throwing a fit party.

For me, the message is in the music of one of my favorite bluesmen, Robert Cray:

Worried, you betcha
Discouraged, I don’t know
Every time I see a 1040
Out of my pocket it goes

Ow, I hate taxes

I work hard for my money
Every April you take it all away
Don’t you know I work hard for my money
Every day, people
You take it all away from me

Ow, ow, I hate taxes

Taxes gonna break my back, I swear
Don’t you know I pay a lot more than my share?
I hate taxes
