Tax the Sun
David Rovics

They claimed they were all for fairness and all for keeping the market free

They were all about competition, against all subsidy

They're opposed to raising taxes wherever they may be

Except in certain cases, such as when the oil industry

Feels threatened by entrepreneurs trying to get something done

So now it's time to tax the sun

They say they're all for individuals pursuing worthy goals

Except ones that might cause industry to dig up less coal

So the politicians voted and almost all agreed

There was no need for debate before they did the deed

No need for gridlock now – united, almost every one

Now it's time to tax the sun

Serving people's interests is the politician's goal

Especially certain people who like digging giant holes

Like very wealthy businessmen with names like David Koch

Concerned extractive industries might soon be going broke

One more solar panel, then the terrorists have won

So it's time to tax the sun

They say they can't give cheaper access to the electric grid

Although we don't all use now as some of us once did

Although we make it cheaper for everybody else

By putting up these turbines and those solar cells

There may be lots of benefits, the downsides may be none

But now it's time to tax the sun

There may be a climate crisis, the lights soon may all go dark

All the scientists agree, the situation's stark

If we're heading toward the wall, speeding down the tracks

The solution to the problem must surely be a tax

Wanna make things better, they'll have you on the run

Now it's time to tax the sun
