Hit the play button:

 

 A Tax On The Air That We Breathe 

Verse 1

When you wake every morning and take your first breath
Just two things are certain that’s taxes and death
They want us to pay for those tree-hugging greens
That’s why they want tax on the air that we breathe.

Verse 2

They’ve got tax on my corn-flakes and tax on my juice
They threaten more tax on the trucks carting food
They’ve just upped the tax on my favourite beer
And now they want tax on the air that we breathe

Chorus

Get your hands off my wallet, Take your hands off her purse,
Your ideas are a fraud and dishonest, You think that freedom’s a curse
BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE, BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE
BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE, Get out of the way

Verse 3

We’re all taxed while we’re working, we’re taxed till we die
We’re taxed while we’re laughing, we’re taxed till we cry
They’re trying to find ways to tax farting sheep
That’s why they want tax on the air that we breathe,

Chorus

Get your hands off my wallet, Take your hands off her purse,
Your ideas are a fraud and dishonest, You think that freedom’s a curse
BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE, BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE
BACK OFF JUST LEAVE US ALONE, Get out of the way

Verse 4

They say we must pay more to turn on our lights
They need lots of money to run all our lives
Don’t think for yourself, ‘cos they know what you need
That’s why they want tax on the air that we breathe
That’s why they want tax on the air that we breathe.

  • The Road to Climate Atheism

    Academics and others who dare to question the majority view are brutally told the science has been settled. Many such dissenters from catastrophist orthodoxy have lost their jobs, been denied promotion, or subjected to constant harassment and ridicule. This not the way science should be done

  • Whatever Will Climateers Cook Up Next?

    There's a veritable industry of academics raising alarm about how global warming and a polluted, dying planet will leave humanity and the animal kingdom in such a state that cannibalism will be a matter of survival. I'll spurn schoolyard puns and cheap gags except for one, and that by way of good advice: don't give them a big hand

  • You Will Eat Bugs. You Will Enjoy Them

    I thought initially that this topic was a bit of fun. But it turns out that entomophagy, as the eating of insects is called, is an essential component of the Western lemmings' race to net-zero. Need it be said that one of the biggest and most enthusiastic lemmings is our very own climate crazies at the CSIRO?
