closer to broke (the I.R.S. song)

wish i could annihilate them
would love to just replace them
can't seem to legislate them
EZ's too complicated

help me my bank account's at zero
help me i've nothing left to sell
help me my accountant doesn't work for me
the I.R.S. can go to hell!

i could live in the woods like an animal
i don't wanna see Leavenworth from the inside
i could live in the woods like an animal
my savings went up in smoke
you get me closer to broke

i need help with my deductions
was my accountant embezzling?
i swear that was a charitable donation
you repossessed my everything

tax me you make me think treason
tax me the system's fucked i can tell
tax free? did you say REFUND?
oh great, an audit is just swell

i could live in the woods like an animal
i don't wanna see Leavenworth from the inside
i could live in the woods like an animal
my savings went up in smoke
you get me closer to broke

all through the jungle
that is the I.R.S.
i have to make sure
they have my correct address
i drink the tea
the agent brought to me
i might as well
at least it's free (hah!)
