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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AC#mDA My brain my fingers bought bottles in a package place AC#mDA Got caught up on a park bench Everybody tried to get a taste F#mD When the sun goes down I swear to God they'll try to run E you out of this town and they will beat you down A5B5D5E5 They will beat you down if you stay around You're gonna get shot down A5B5D5 They will beat you down they will beat you down and you'll feel like a hungry E5 dog in the street on a very short leash

AC#mDA My heart is a cancer radiation wouldn't help a thing AC#mDA My God doesn't answer I pray nightly every single week F#mDE When the liquor runs low my friends run low Got nowhere to go A5B5D5E5 Nowhere to go no religion could ever save my soul Nowhere to go A5B5D5E5 Nowhere to go and I feel like a hungry dog in the street on a very short leash
