Daddy's Money
David Wilcox
Album Nightshift Watchman
..............................................
Look what we all bought them for election
Staying in the job will be a fight
So they waffle and they argue and they haw away
Making sure their sound bites come out right
Well it's my favorite form of spare time entertainment
Watch what happens when I try to sway their vote
You can tell just by the way they slam down the phone
They're trying to tell me that I am not of note
Chorus
'Cause they've got our tax money
Our tax money
Our tax money holds their hand
They ain't got no back bone
Barely strong enough to stand
Our tax money holds their hand
So then I dial up quick the next rep on my phone list
I can't help that there's some anger in my tone
Because their lives must cost twenty times what mine does
They rape our land, but won't pick up the phone
Chorus
'Cause they've got our tax money
Our tax money
Our tax money holds their hand
They ain't got no back bone
Barely strong enough to stand
Our tax money holds their hand
Well I really don't mean to hurt their feelings
There's a tender heart that hides behind the wealth
Maybe if our reps get too many shiny toys
They lose sight of the value in themselves
They work for us and now it's time to change things
My health care and theirs should just be the same
Protect our world that's sacrificed for business sake
And free those kids and let them play some games
Chorus
'Cause they've got our tax money
Our tax money
Our tax money holds their hand
They ain't got no back bone
Barely strong enough to stand
Our tax money holds their hand
