Biography:
The Taxpayers originated in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. Originally a three-piece guitar/bass/drum combination, the band incorporates accordion, horns, piano, harmonica, and other instruments during recording sessions. Currently they perform live with a range from three to eight members.
They strongly support the DIY punk ethic, booking their own shows, printing their own merchandise, printing CDs from scrap material, and hand-written notes and other gifts included with each CD.

[Verse]
G
I have been making presentations for a final escalation
C G
I have been praying to the god of giving up.
C G Em
She says, “Lock, lock, lock the door behind you now,
C D G
before the criminals and the cops break in your house”.
[Verse]
G C G
Oh, I have looked so hard for a place where I could die.
C G Em
But the winners up there of high-end living
C D G
won't allow the broken insane to arise.
[Chorus]
C G C G
So fuck this city. Fuck this job. They cut you down before you even reach the top.
C G Em
In a god-fearing land, there ain't no lodging for the mad;
C D G
you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown.
[Verse]
G C G
I'm gonna go back to that factory, where they make, make, make moving parts
C G Em
that will take, take, take you very far away.
C D G
In the flash of a pack of matches, I will be gone.
[Chorus]
C G C G
So fuck this city. Fuck this job. They break you down before you even reach the top.
C G Em
In a god-fearing land, there ain't no lodging for the mad;
C D
you can't get high enough to breathe
C D
you can't get high enough to breathe
C D G
you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown.
