Hallelujah, I heard there was a Tax Accord
parody by Anne Smith, with apologies to Leonard Cohen.
Guitar and singing by Don Smith:
G Em G Em
I heard there was a tax accord, with Norquist as the overlord
C D G D
But Democrats don’t care for tax cuts do ya?
G C D Em C
It goes like this, the deficit, the debt ceiling, the fiscal cliff
D Em
Republicans are screaming “we will screw ya.”
C Em C G D G
We will screw ya, we will screw ya, We will screw ya. We will screw ya.
G Em G Em
Well Baby, we’ve been here before, When Bush’s boys declared the war,
C D G D
And then they cut the taxes for a few, yeah.
G C D Em C
The Koch Brothers, the One percent, their money fought the President
D Em
But on November 6, we overthrew ya.
C Em C G D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Additional verse
G Em G Em
Their faith was strong, but without proof, They saw us trying to speak the truth
C D G D
The crazy pundits always lying to ya.
G C D Em C
They filibustered on the floor, Refused to vote, refused some more
D Em
And swore that liberals only want to screw ya.
C Em C G D G
They will screw ya, they will screw ya, They will screw ya, they will screw Ya.
