“Mr. Taxman” – Nathaniel Mayer
“Money’s gone
Taxman at my door
What you need my money for?
To feed the poor, or start a war?
I’m BROKE!
I’m broke!
I’m broke
I’m going to the bar
You know why
…
My money’s gone
I lost my home
I’m all alone
Help me!
Help, help
Help, help
Help me, help me
From Nathaniel Mayer’s forthcoming posthumous album Why Won’t You Let Me Be Black?, released next month on vinyl and cd through the good people at Alive Records of Burbank, California, and available now in digital format from Other Music of New York City.
