16th Amendment

Post Animal

I make my money
You take my money
I think it's wrong I do
Now I'm feeling weighted
Down and graduated
Seems like I been set up to lose

I don't understand
How I'm working for you man

I guess I could see why you would need a little help from me
Ain't kept up with international trade since before 1913
Tariffs ain't been enough since 'bout 1861
But War came callin' for more so in '62 you started having fun
Now when it came to end the expiry called for revolution
Let the industry in the northeast pay and amend the constitution
The turn of the century saw the costs of living rise
So Sam passed the 16th to increase the governmental size

I make my money
You take my money
I think it's wrong I do
Now I'm feeling weighted
Down and graduated
Seems like I been set up to lose

I make my money
You take my money
I think it's wrong I do
Now I'm feeling weighted
Down and graduated
Seems like I been set up to lose

I don't understand
How I'm working for you man

Now I'm all for paying for roads but I'm watching the money go against my vote
And the people I see who're drowning in debt could use a little more to float
Put a little effort into earning equality
Ain't no sense in paying tax while you're living in poverty
Now come on now
Let’s have a little sense
Put the money where we need it
Into the schools into the people into the knowledge

I make my money
You take my money
I think it's wrong I do
Now I'm feeling weighted
Down and graduated
Seems like I been set up to lose

Uncle Sam, goddamn
How could you take me for such a fool
