Story behind the song
This song was written during a training course for tax preperation. . .I guess it's no surprise that the topic came up in a song. Originally this was "The Power of Block", but I felt that it was too much of an advertisement, and not enough of a parody, thus I made a slight edit to "The Power of Tax" as although I truely do recomend "Block", I have no animosity towards "Liberty" or "Hewitt". . .although the Check Cashing Giants I kinda view as theives, the whole tax wars being that time and all, seemed like an appropriate parody. That's not that I dislike their employees--I have a problem with any company that takes such large chunks of a person's check when the people who use said business can't get a checking account and have few places to go to get their hard earned money. . .that's nothing against the people who work there, but the company itself.
Lyrics
The Power of Tax is a serious thing It can build your roads, but it always stings If you're caught lying about income Audit's coming, that's the Power of Tax Thicker than Bibles, and it's never clean More rules and exceptions than a math geeks dreams Itimezing works, sometime's it hurts Power of Tax will make you scream at night Lifetime credit, I R A s Maybe a Schedule A if you track your game Date's always coming and it hurts sometimes But you don't want the late fines That's the Power of Tax That's the Power of Tax First time you owe it may make you mad Next time claim zero it won't be so bad So take some time, babe Don't clown around It's the Power that makes our economy sound Own a business, keep receipts Don't forget anything for your Schedule C Stocks can be tricky but their cool sometimes Let the Block dudes save your life. You think the I R S ain't fair That's not here or there Cause they know what to do When you are a widow too And with a little help from the Block You'll feel the Power of Tax You'll feel the Power of Tax Can you feel it Um-hmmmmmmmm 10 99, that's just fine Even to overpay they never whine Smarter than Amscot and costs less than Hewitt They won't steal nothing, they're for real They know the Power They know the Power of Tax It's the Power It's the Power of Tax They know the Power of Tax They know the Power of Tax They know the Power of Tax
