MORE TAXES (SONG LYRICS)
CANADA STRONG AND NOT FREE
LISTEN HERE: MORE TAXES
Some said the election was obstructed, while others claimed it was flat-out corrupted. If not supporting their party’s position, votes were neglected by unexplainable omissions.
[CHORUS] All their resolutions were often awful, another governmental game. Regardless of the party, the solution is always the same.
Here’s the awkward thing, the politicians really do think of themselves as queens and kings. Spending never quits, even when their agenda appears unfit, yet they’ll still throw lots more taxpayer money at all of it. They just keep spending willy-nilly without any responsibility or fiscal accountability.
Start with a study, the projected feasibility first phase, then encounter the usual unexpected delays, those many financial overruns to finally complete — then rinse and repeat.
[CHORUS] All their resolutions were often awful, another governmental game. Regardless of the party, the solution is always the same.
When they taxed the air above my house, it was inconsequential… the government called it: Vertical Equity Potential. Then my total home value became taxed as well… even if I never intend to sell. It’s called unrealized appreciation — a new form of political donation, expected from every citizen, according to their legislation.
[CHORUS] All their resolutions were often awful, another governmental game. Regardless of the party, the solution is always the same.
The administration sold my bicycle carbon credit offset, to someone flying a large gas guzzling private jet.

My grandmother’s old family recipe is part of the National Culinary Registry, requiring user licenses and annual individual fees. Every nickel is squeezed.
The new tax forms need some kind of coding of their decryption.
My ideas are determined to be, taxable intellectual emissions.
To disagree is not unpatriotic. Taxpayers consider it all completely idiotic. Rock the boat and serious penalties will ensue. Whistleblowers don’t know what to do.
I can’t even enjoy my own backyard view; it now requires a monthly subscription… for me too.
[CHORUS] All their resolutions were often awful, another governmental game. Regardless of the party, the solution is always the same.
They taxed my patience, my privacy, and my peace of mind, then charged a levy for every petition I formally signed.
They said I owed back taxes on feelings I never shared, yet that’s just a fraction of what I actually intentionally undeclared.
Our streets are filled with government-supplied drugs and criminal thugs.
No matter what, I’m not eating any bugs.
… no bugs.
