In honor of Tax season coming up I submit this
When you take a break from filling out your tax form you can read through this
It is a story that while a person’s life on the outside might look all rosy and sweet
The inside is rotten to the core
I just ask that the people from Blue Oyster Cult forgive me
VETERAN OF A MILLION
TAX FORM WARS
You see me now a veteran
of a million tax form wars
I’ve been living on the edge so long
Where tax forms fill my cubicle
Numbers plague my brain and
keep me from my sleep
I am far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I’m not sure that there’s anything left of me
Don’t let these forms go on
It’s time we had a break from them
It’s time we had some leave
I’ve been living in this mess so long
It gets bigger and bigger everyday
Oh, please don’t let these forms go on
You ask me why I am weary,
why I say these things to you
You say 45 has enacted Tax Reform for you and me
I do not want you to fall for that lunacy
The wars are still going on dear
And there’s no end that I know
The auditor will always
recalculate your form
This wretched insanity will forever…
…will forever be the norm
Don’t let these forms go on
It’s time we had a break from them
It’s time we had some leave
I’ve been living in this mess so long
It gets bigger and bigger everyday
Oh, please don’t let these forms go on
You see me now a veteran
of a million tax form wars
My energy’s spent at last
My support is null and void
I have used up all deductions
and I’m helpless and bereaved
The filing deadline has passed already
Did I hear you say that you do not agree?
Don’t let these forms go on
It’s time I had a break from them
Send me on medical leave
I fill out forms there as well
In my own private hell
Oh, please don’t let these forms go on
Don’t let these forms go on
Don’t let these forms go on
