Consumption Tax Lyrics by TISM

Collected Recordings 1986–1993 [Disc 4]

0

Bought a car the other day
Man, could that baby run;
But you know what they always say:
There's always a better one
Found a girl the other day
Her hair was like the sun;
Sometime soon she'll be turning grey:
There's always a better one
Well I wrote a song the other day
Best thing I've ever sung;
Another band began to play:
There's always a better one
Consumption tax - on every breath
Consumption tax - don't stop 'til death
Consumption tax - laughin' in hell
Consumption Tax - I've a soul to sell
Got a tumour in my brain
It's creeping to my lungs;
And I've searched around in vain:
I can't find a better one
Consumption tax - had holed Jesus
Consumption tax - thirty silver pieces
Consumption tax - on every caress
Consumption tax - took a pound of flesh
Consumption tax - took my right hand
Consumption tax - took the Koori's land
Consumption tax - took my Christmas cheer
Consumption tax - it all costs here
Consumption tax - yeah
Consumption tax - took my right hand
Consumption tax - took the Koori's land
