[Intro]
\nObviously
\n(It’s a mystery)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nA tax attack
\nImagine that
\nWent from anti
\nTo an eye for an eye<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, please…
\nOn days like these
\nWho knows
\nHow it goes<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nObviously
\n(It’s a mystery)
\nIn a time machine
\n(Back to ignorance)
\nThe pain of mean
\n(In a hatred dance)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nA regressive tax
\nPoor under attack
\nWhat’s the goal
\nThe ultimate toll?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, please…
\nOn days like these
\nWho knows
\nHow it goes<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nObviously
\n(It’s a mystery)
\nIn a time machine
\n(Back to ignorance)
\nThe pain of mean
\n(In a hatred dance)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, please…
\nOn days like these
\nWho knows
\nHow it goes<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nObviously
\n(It’s a mystery)
\nA time machine
\n(In a nightmarish dream)<\/p>\n

A regressive tax is one that takes a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. Tariffs fit this definition because:<\/p>\n
