Story Behind The Song
Written in the midst of doing my taxes one year....and realizing how much had been taken only to be misused by the government..
Song Description
Continuing the idea of the Beatles "tax man" song. I use their name for their "tax man", "Mr. Wilson" to go in another direction musically, while maintaining the anti-tax theme of the original. This uses nothing from the original other than the name of the tax man. All music and lyrics are different and original.

Lyrics
Mr. Wilson,
I've got nothing left to give
Or should I say,
Nothing left for you to take
Mr. Wilson,
You're no robin hood
You think you're good
But you take more than you should
You're so democratic
Skeletons play in your attic
With toys not abandoned
In your youth
Mr. Wilson,
What's that paper in your hand
What's that you say?
I'll have to pay either way
Mr. Wilson,
There's always more for you
It's such a shame
You've got my number
And my name
You're so aristocratic
Never seems that you are lacking
Feeding off the wealth that others make
It's such a shame
Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson
Mr. Wilson
