Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They built a marble hall on our dime
Signed their names and stole our time
Promises piled high in the rain
But the folks at home got the bill and the shame
[Verse 2]
They talk real sweet on the TV screen
While the roads stay cracked and the tanks stay lean
Hard-earned pay for a broken plan
Seems every hand in the chain had a hand
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep on workin’
They keep on spendin’
We keep on countin’
They keep on bending
[Chorus]
Tax money gone to waste
Tax money gone to waste
Ain’t that a hard pill to taste
Tax money gone to waste
[Verse 3]
One side screams, the other side cheers
Same old game, same old fears
Flags in the air, but the pockets run dry
And the truth gets buried by a suit and a tie
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep on workin’
They keep on spendin’
We keep on countin’
They keep on bending
[Chorus]
Tax money gone to waste
Tax money gone to waste
Ain’t that a hard pill to taste
Tax money gone to waste
[Bridge]
Take that ledger down off the shelf
Read the numbers for yourself
A country built by working hands
Shouldn’t vanish in a paper scam
[Final Chorus]
Tax money gone to waste
Tax money gone to waste
We’re the ones they make erase
Tax money gone to waste
[Outro]
Hold them to the flame
Call them by name
We paid the price
We want the change
