Labrats - Can You Tax me Higher?

Lyrics: Labrats, OpenAI
Music: Udio
[[Verse 1]]
I wake up every morning, workin' nine to five
Breakin’ my back just tryin' to survive
Boss man’s laughin’, but my check’s so thin
By the time I pay my rent, I’m broke again!
[[Pre-Chorus]]
But wait—there’s a letter in the mail for me!
Another bill, another “mandatory” fee!
I call up the gov, and I start to inquire…
They say, "Hey, buddy, can we tax you higher?"
[[Chorus]]
Can you tax me higher? Oh, make me scream!
Drain my wallet like a government dream!
Take my cash, take my soul, take my old used tires—
Oh, Uncle Sam, can you tax me higher?!
[[Verse 2]]
They tax my coffee, they tax my beer
They even tax my dog just for breathin’ the air
License plate’s due, got tolls to pay
By the time I’m done, I owe my whole damn day!
[[Pre-Chorus]]
I call my rep, and I make my plea
She laughs and says, "Well, ain't that sweet?"
"If you love the system, we’ll stoke that fire—
Just sign here, we’ll tax you higher!"
[[Chorus]]
Can you tax me higher? Oh, make me scream!
Drain my wallet like a government dream!
Take my cash, take my soul, take my old used tires—
Oh, Uncle Sam, can you tax me higher?!
[[Bridge]]
Ohh, I try to run, I try to hide
But that taxman’s always right outside
He’s got a clipboard, got a pen
Says, "Hey my friend, let’s do this again!"
(Drum fill into final chorus—BIG ENERGY! 🎸🔥)
[[Final Chorus]]
Can you tax me higher? Oh, make me scream!
Turn my paycheck into a pipe dream!
Take my house, take my car, take my old spare tire—
Oh, Uncle Sam, can you tax me higher?!
