Kevin Morby – 24th Amendment Lyrics

Folk

Oh, I saw the taxman, so I walked, I ran
Now I can not vote, so I live on a boat that lives in a moat
And it's time of election, we all need direction
For who we want to lose, though I can not choose
For I did not pay taxes on my socks or my shoes

So when I saw the taxman, oh, I walked, I ran
And I do not pay taxes, but I know what the facts is
'Cause I said not me, oh, I won't pay that fee
So now I can not vote for who I love the most
And there is no money for the bees or the honey
Or to fix what needs fixed most
So I live on a boat that lives in a moat
And it's leaking

Oh, the holes in the road
No more schools, we're all fools
And there's no crosstown bus, so I'll crawl if I must
And there's no army, so don't harm me
'Cause I don't have much that I can touch

'Cause when I saw the taxman, I walked, I ran
And now I can not choose for who I want to lose
'Cause I did not pay taxes on my socks or my shoes
And I can not vote for who I love the most
'Cause when I saw the taxman, oh, I walked, I ran
