Lyrics:

Well they're coming for them family farms and all them century old barns
They'll charge you til you can't afford to work your family land
Cuz you don't get to pass it down unless you wear some royal crown
Repayment for the revolution it's always been the plan

They track every single purchase that I make all year long
Take a dime from every dollar that I earn from every song
So I'm headed to the harbor think I'll just go back to barter
You can book me hear right now I'll sing all night for half a cow

Cuz the more I make the more they take
More they take the less I have the less I have the more I need
The more I need the more I work the more I work the more I make
The more I make the more they take until they've got it all

They turn our dollars into francs put them all in foreign banks
Buy a couple dozen tanks then they stick us with the bill
They say they're out of cash so they subsidize and dash
As we carry the world up the hill

Cuz the more I make the more they take
More they take, the less I have the less I have the more I need
The more I need the more I work the more I work the more I make
The more I make the more they take until they've got it all

I'm sick and tired of this USD I use it and they charge me
While everyone but us has it in reserves for free
I'm gonna buy a little boat, pay one last county fee
Set sail for international waters where they can't audit me...yet.

Cuz the more I make the more they take
More they take, the less I have the less I have the more I need
The more I need the more I work the more I work the more I make
The more I make the more they take until they've got it all
