Tax(edec)onomy
They sold us an idea that
We could be passionate
About whatever we wanted
But realistically, we have
To put a cap on it
How much crude oil
Does it take to drive to your
Desirable action of love
How many taxes do you
Have to pay in lieu
Of what you have already made
I don't know how to do the math here
Maybe that's why I'm a shabby artist
And a right crude poet.
