Where Do Our Taxe$ Go?

Lyrics by: Jane Hare and Vicki Ryder
Gaggle: North Carolina
Tune: Solidarity Forever

Do you ever wonder why we always have the funds
For wars and corporate bailouts

And the banks so poorly run?

But we never have the money

For the urgent needs at home,

Like jobs and schools and health care

And homes for everyone?

Chorus:

Wh – ere do our taxes go then?

Wh – ere do our taxes go then?

Forty-seven cents of each tax dollar

Goes to fund the wars!

And that’s got to stop right now!

We can help turn things around now

If we only will decide

To join together and elect

Officials on our side

Who will work to save our planet

And build roads and bridges, too,

To build and not destroy!

Repeat chorus

So call your Senators and Reps

And just be sure they know

That the way they’re spending our tax dollars

Simply has to go.

Be sure they get the message

That we want our taxes back

To build and not destroy!

Repeat chorus
