LYRICS:

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say.
I'm loving all these taxes that I gotta pay.
Like income, sales, gas, capital gains,
and having to pay you to figure out the way.

Clap along if you're like me,
and it makes you feel so good.
That your total tax paid for part
of an outhouse in the woods.

Clap along if sweet
camel statues make you groove.
Clap along if you worked four months
to help pay for its hooves.

But don't you want to pay for what PETA says?
How about for Pre-K programs for fetuses?
How about $180 grand to study quail?
How about this—do you NOT want to go to jail?

Clap along if you love
looking for every last receipt.
Clap along if it feels
you're on a bike without a seat.

Clap along if you just want to
high five and say shucks.
When the State Department
can't locate $6 billion bucks.
