Tax Song: Who’s Behind it All (A Capella)
(Money)
(Yeah) (tax tax tax)
Oh, a criminal, I need help!
Police. Police. Police. Call the Police.
No, I see a fire, I see an accident, help!
Brigade. Brigade. Brigade. Call the fire brigade.
What’s left?
Ambulance
Emergency services protect us so
We are lucky have them in our command
But who’s behind it all?
(Tax, yeah)
You fund the state government.
Tax.
You bring us income in retirement.
(Yeah) tax.
Without you, what would we do?
Tax, oh yeah.
Safe grounds for children to play on,
Smooth roads for us to drive upon,
Clean streets and public transport,
Medicare for our health support,
The list is endless,
State-revenue is needed for our existence!
But, who’s behind it all?
(Tax, yeah)
You fund the state government.
Tax.
You bring us income in retirement.
(Yeah) tax.
Without you, what would we do?
Tax. Oh yeah.
Superannuation,
Oh you need it for pensions
You need it for vacations
So think about the time
When your older and retired
How will you live a fulfilled life
In the absence of this mandating?
(Yeah) It’s all in you
Yet we fail to see your true form
Always the losses
We hardly see the returns
But now I’ve seen them
I won’t take from you no more
We need tax for sure
I’ve realised, you're behind it all.
