The Book Tax Song

We think that any government would be a bunch of crooks
If they had the audacity to place a tax on books
But now the hated GST's attacking what we read
Cutting into learning, the basic tools we need
So here's a simple question, answer as you shall
Will you ax the tax on books...and be our bestest pal?
This song was created for MuchMusic's 1993 election coverage. A group of
musicians were
selected and asked to write "Musical Questions" which would be put to
the leaders of various
parties who were then required to answer them. This is what Moxy came up
with.
