You know that old Uncle Sam really started a mess
When he created that monster the IRS
Sam said, 'there's only two things in this life that are certain
Death and taxation
And there ain't no avertin'

Yeah people I got wise, I made a plan
I'm playin' keep away from that evil taxman
Because he won't miss your money
If he don't know where it went
You got to hide it from the government
You got to hide it from the government

Rich man got a lot of ways to make his money grow
Like writin' off that pleasure cruise he took to Mexico
IRA is legal and the 401 is fine
Whatever it takes to manipulate the bottom line

And workin' under the table is one way to make it big
If you don't report a dime of what your makin' at that gig
Eventually you may need an overseas account
Cause you'll be hidin' from the taxman an exorbitant amount

I got wise, I made a plan
I'm playin' keep away from that evil taxman
Because he won't miss your money
If he don't know where it went
You got to hide it from the government
You got to hide it from the government
