Labrats - Tax on Tax

Lyrics - Labrats +
Music - Udio

[Verse 1]
Chasing silver dreams, we tread the path
But the cost keeps rising, building wrath
With a grumble, oh we sigh
Tales of burden growing high
Through the misty lands we roam
Yearning for a place to call home

[Chorus]
Tax on tax, it takes its toll
Heart's burdened, paying every dole
Oh Canada, can’t you see?
We’re longing just to be free

[Verse 2]
Through the fields of green, we pay our due
In the name of gold, skies lose their blue
With every coin, the weight bears down
To fortune's promise, there's no crown
But in our hearts, there's a song
A chorus that keeps us strong

[Chorus]
Tax on tax, it takes its toll
Heart's burdened, paying every dole
Oh Canada, can’t you see?
We’re longing just to be free

[Verse 3]
Every paycheck, it takes a slice,
Taxed when we earn, then taxed again twice.
On the goods we buy, the sting remains,
GST PST add to the chains.

[Chorus]
Tax on tax, it takes its toll
Heart's burdened, paying every dole
Oh Canada, can’t you see?
We’re longing just to be free

[solo]
[Verse 4]
In Canada’s woods, where tall trees sway,
We soak up the carbon, keep climate at bay.
So why pay a tax for the air that we share?
Let’s get paid for our forest, it's only fair!

[Chorus]
Tax on tax, it takes its toll
Heart's burdened, paying every dole
Oh Canada, can’t you see?
We’re longing just to be free

So why pay a tax for the air that we share?
Let’s get paid for the green, it's only fair!

[Chorus]
Tax on tax, it takes its toll
Heart's burdened, paying every dole
Oh Canada, can’t you see?
We’re longing just to be free
