John T. Wurzer - Laid Off

Laid Off

Billy was an auditor, just out of business school
At work on time each morning, obeying every rule
Things being what they are in this government as yet
He'd toss and turn every night, dreaming 'bout the national debt
It happened just last Friday, with a pink slip and a note
It said you're on a permanent holiday, thanks for playing, that's all she wrote
Although he worked his very hardest, and he tried his very best
Billy is now unemployed, because we're laying off workers at the IRS

In the streets they're burning tax returns and forging refund checks
Because we're laying off workers at the IRS

We're laying off workers at the IRS
Because the country is in debt and the budget is a mess
You get a busy signal if you call them on the phone
The auditors work double shifts doing audits logged in from home
We're firing the very men and women who get finances collected
Don't it kind of make you wonder how these people got elected
So don't worry about the deadline or if you'll pass the audit test
Billy Jones is unemployed and we're laying off workers at the IRS

In the streets they're burning tax returns and forging refund checks
Because we're laying off workers at the IRS

I can hear the rich folks giggling at night as they get undressed
Because we're laying off workers at the IRS

It isn't any wonder that this country is still a mess
We're laying off workers at the IRS

We're laying off Billy, from the IRS
