Hymne libertarien

[José]

Let me tell you how it will be;

There's one for you, nineteen for me.

'Cause I’m the taxman,

Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,

Be thankful I don't take it all.

'Cause I’m the taxman,

Yeah, I’m the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;

(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;

(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;

(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet

[Ronnie Hayek]

C'est pas nouveau, ça, comme référence ! Il en en fut plusieurs fois question sur le forum, si je me rappelle bien.

Stevie Ray Vaughn a fait une excellente reprise de ce morceau. Pour ceux que ça interesse…

[Rincevent]

C'est davantage l'hymne de Contribuables Associés qu'un hymne libertarien (et en plus, ce n'est pas leur meilleure chanson).

Un vrai hymne libertarien, et reconnu comme tel par un grand nombre de libertariens américains, c'est ça : http://youtube.com/watch?v=t-3enjfQyuE

(La chanson en question débute vers 01:15)

Got a call from an old friend

We used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed the shop, sold the house

Bought a ticket to the West Coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(I never said)

I still belong, don't get me wrong

And you can speak your mind

But not on my time

They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place

Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else

Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

(Of cirumstance)

I still belong, don't get me wrong

And you can speak your mind

But not on my time

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

(Keep it to yourself, it's my life.) x4
