My Tax Returns

D.T.:

Why does everybody

Always want to see

My tax returns?

If I could have a secret,

It really ought to be

My tax returns.

Inflating values to get your loans:

There is really nothing to it.

Deflating values to lower taxes:

Doesn’t everybody do it?

 

Why do prosecutors

Want to have in hand

My tax returns?

I don’t think it’s fair

That they can all demand

My tax returns.

When you’re rich, doesn’t that mean

You should get a little break?

I’m in trouble mainly because

I give far less than I take.

 

I’m being hassled

‘Cause I want to hide

My tax returns.

Judges are stupid

To say I must provide

My tax returns.

If they say I committed fraud,

I’ll say that’s just fake news.

If they try to make me talk,

I will simply refuse!

 

I know that my fans

Don’t give a hoot about

My tax returns.

I can cheat and they’ll say that’s okay.

Winning means having all the right tools

To maneuver your way around the rules.

I’m pissed off

Because I have to show

MY TAX RETURNS!
