Taxman, Mr. Thief Lyrics


You work hard, you make money
There ain't no one in this world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now, the taxman is out to get youYou worked hard
And you slaved and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot
Well, it's just not fairHe hates you, he loves money
And he'll steal your shit and think it is funny
Like the Beatles, even Dylan
Now, the taxman is out to get youYou worked hard
And you slaved, and slaved for years
You played and you played
And played for yearsTaxman, Mr. Heath
He's looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, Mr. Heath
He's looking for a run-in
A run-in, yeah, yeahTaxman, Mr. Heath
He's looking for a run-in, yeah

Taxman, he is a thief
He's looking for a run-in
A run-in, yeah, yeahYou work hard, you make money
There ain't no one in this world who can stop you
You work hard, you went hungry
Now, the taxman is out to get youYou worked hard
And you slaved, and slaved for years
Break your back, sweat a lot
Well, it's just not fairTaxman, Mr. Heath
He's looking for a run-in, yeah
Taxman, he's a thief
He's looking for a run-in
A run-in, yeah, yeah

Cheap Trick is a U.S. rock/power pop band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band members are Rick Nielsen (guitarist and main songwriter), Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) (drums), Robin Zander (vocals and guitars), and Tom Petersson (bass guitar). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. The band's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, The Latest, has gained critical acclaim. They also wrote and performed the theme song for "The Colbert Report".

Nielsen and Petersson originally formed the group as "Fuse" in 1967, with Carlos joining the group several years later; however, when Zander joined as vocalist in 1972, the group was renamed Cheap Trick. Zander is considered one of the best rock vocalists. Tom Petersson was known for playing custom made 8, 12, and even a 18 string custom bass made by Modulus for Tom in 1981.

Rick Nielsen also has a penchant for unusual instruments. He owns and plays a five-necked solidbody electric guitar (it can be seen in the video for the song "She's Tight", among others).
