Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bills on the table Hands in the red They take from my pockets Then ask for more bread My mom says, “Hold on” My dad looks away We work every hour Still lose half the day [Pre-Chorus] Who made this game? Who changed the rules? We bend and we break Still pay for the fuel The rent keeps climbing The fridge stays bare We’re counting the coins Like someone who cares [Chorus] Tax us to death Tax us to death We can’t live like this We can’t breathe like this Tax us to death Tax us to death All these suits and scams Got us under their thumb [Verse 2] They smile on the screen With perfect teeth While our streets stay tired And our kids can’t eat They promise the moon Then shut the door Take one more slice Then come back for more My neighbor says “We’re not okay” We swap our last meals And pray for change [Pre-Chorus] Who made this game? Who changed the rules? We bend and we break Still pay for the fuel The roof leaks water The winter stings And every new law Feels like chains with rings [Chorus] Tax us to death Tax us to death We can’t live like this We can’t breathe like this Tax us to death Tax us to death All these suits and scams Got us under their thumb [Bridge] If they want our silence They’ll hear our names From crowded rooms To the parked-out trains We are the hands They tried to keep low We are the spark They can’t control [Final Chorus] Tax us to death Tax us to death We can’t live like this We can’t breathe like this Tax us to death Tax us to death Break the locked-up gate Let the broken hearts in Tax us to death Tax us to death All these suits and scams Won’t own us again
