Gross Income

[Verse 1] Uncle Sam's got his hand out asking me for mine Gross income that's all he's on my mind (Gross Income) But I'm thinking "Hey why don't you ask why?" (Why) Is it the long hours or the minimum wage high I'm working hard but the pay's still low Can't make ends meet but the taxes still grow I'm trying to survive but it's hard to thrive When the cost of living's always on the rise I'm not getting richer just getting by But Uncle Sam's still asking "How much did you make this time?" (Money Question) He's got his eyes on my wallet but not on my strife Just another number in his taxman's life (Tax Man) [Pre-Chorus] [x2] It's time to flip the script turn the tables around Ask the real questions that's what I've found (Turn the tables around) [Chorus] [x2] Uncle Sam why don't you ask why? (Why) My income's gross but not in a good way I cry You're counting my dollars but not my stress Why don't you ask why my income's such a mess? (Gross Income) [Verse 2] I'm drowning in debt but still paying my share Trying to stay afloat but it's hard to bear The system's broken it's rigged from the start But Uncle Sam's still asking "What's your gross income boo?" (Gross Income) He's got his priorities but they're not in line With the struggles of the people who are barely getting by I'm not just a number I'm a human being too But Uncle Sam's still asking "How much did you make this year?" (Money Question) I'm more than just a paycheck I'm a life With bills to pay and a future to thrive But Uncle Sam's still asking without a care For the struggles that I fear (Tax Man) [Pre-Chorus] [x2] It's time to flip the script turn the tables around Ask the real questions that's what I've found (Turn the tables around) (Gross Income) [x2] [Chorus] [x2] Uncle Sam why don't you ask why? (Why) My income's gross but not in a good way I cry (Gross Income) You're counting my dollars but not my stress Why don't you ask why my income's such a mess? (Gross Income) [x2] [Outro] So next time you ask about my gross income too (Gross Income) Remember to ask why and what I'm going through (What I'm going throughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?) (Turn the tables around)
