Wall Street, Pay Your Taxes: The Music Video
Sun, 4/14/2013 - by Carl Gibson

 

LYRICS:

Early in the morning

I rise up in the street

We quit smokin' cigarettes

To have shoes on our feet

We all know the reason

The reason things went wrong

Yeah we all know the reason

Why our money's all gone

They robbed my generation

No one can get by

So listen to our protest

'Fore we mothafuckin' riot

(guitar solo)

Life is too short, we need what we don't got

'Cause we tryin to get over, but there's no good jobs

Workin' part-time but I ain't gettin no rest

Had to come in here so I could get it off my chest

Take a small example

A tip from me

Pay your tax money, don't deduct from charity-dee-dee

It's what you dodge

And you dodge a lot

The taxes that you dodge cost schools and jobs

We'll keep fightin' til we get what we deserve

Try and test that

You bound to get served

Pay what you dodged

It's not that hard

You'll feel us when the streets get hot, hot

CHORUS

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

I don't cry when my dog runs away

I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay

But I get angry at the high rent cost

Or if I ever get laid off from the boss

Bankers, robbers

They're all the same

They don't pay their taxes

'Cause they all rigged the game

Let some of that tax money come back to me

Wall Street,

Pay your taxes

Don't censor that

Wall Street,

Pay Your taxes

Don't censor that

(REPEAT)

This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.

Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.

The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.

The recent decisions by two of the most influential national newspapers of record to not publish their endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris says a lot about how seriously they take Trump’s threats to democracy and his promises of vengeance against his enemies.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.

The country has never moved as close to the course it took under Benito Mussolini as it is doing now — and even if Meloni is not a neo-fascist politician, she has put herself in a position to appeal to and broaden fascism's political base.

On the eve of the historic November vote, it seems important to ask: What's wrong with men, how did we get here, and can we change this?

As Trump’s campaign grows increasingly bizarre, his team appears to be more tightly controlling his movements and carefully scripting his public appearances to minimize the negative impact his erratic behavior may have on undecided voters in swing states.
