In our wallets, there's emptiness, in our souls,
Chasing dreams, but it's like running on coals,
Taxes rise, we're drowning in tolls,
In this land we love, but it takes its tolls.

Taxed to the bone, it's our daily grind,
Working hard but the system's so unkind,
Struggling to breathe, like we're in a bind.

The wealthy get richer, we struggle to cope,
Month-end blues, it's an endless slope,
Tired of being sidelined, with little hope,
Fighting for our rights, just trying to elope.

Taxed to the bone, it's our daily grind,
Working hard but the system's so unkind,
Struggling to breathe, like we're in a bind.

Told we're free, but freedom's a fee,
Paying the price, with no guarantee,
Tired of tightening belts, living on plea,
Just want to breathe, and feel truly free.

Taxed to the bone, it's our daily grind,
Working hard but the system's so unkind,
Struggling to breathe, like we're in a bind.
