The IRS discussion thread

[HoldenCaulfield]

My interpretation:

Love, is it true?
What they say of you?

Gonna call the President,
gonna call with the private eye,
gonna get the IRS,
gonna need the FBI.
There's not anymore that I can do.

All the reasons that you give,
I'll follow you.
So when you plead the fifth and in the end the target's true.
Wouldn't be the first time I've been robbed,
wouldn't be the last I'm sure I've gone
through all the rumors I can tell,
some things didn't work so well.

Well anyway it feels the same,
as when you first told me you were wrong,
so long ago but I feel led on.
Though all the bullshit and I'm in this wreck,
that's the truth now here's the worse yet,
wouldn't even amount to the things that I've paid,
you'd bend your mind, I'd be gone anyway.
And there's no use knowing that you've done lost,
you'd have seen it comin' all along.

Well it's true, oh,
I had, but that was you, oh oh!

Gonna call the President,
gonna call myself a private eye,
gonna need the IRS,
gonna get the FBI.
Gonna make it a federal case,
gonna wave it right back out in your face,
re-invent with your morning news with a
sweet hangover and your headlines, too now.

I bet you think I'm doin' this all for my health,
say this like I did now it's somebody else,
feeling like I've done way more than wrong,
feeling like I'm living inside of this song,
feeling like I'm just too tired to care,
feeling like I've done more than my share,
could it be the wait that I've carried on,
like a broken record for so long?
Am I doomed? Uh, oh!

Gonna call the President,
gonna call a private eye,
gonna get the IRS,
gonna need myself the FBI.

Ooh, what shall I do?
If I gave my heart freely? Oh.
It's like a crime you know it's true!

Gonna call the President,
gonna get myself a private eye,
ooh gonna need the IRS,
gonna get the FBI.

Gonna make it a federal case,
gonna wave it right back out in your face,
re-invent it with your morning news with
a sweet hangover and your headlines too now.
It's not anymore that I can do...

[dave-gnfnr2k]

but even on the clean one i cn't make out everything....I've given up and am waiting for the official liner notes

If you heard the other  version you can make out most of the lyrics

[Cowboy Buddha]

What I think...


Oh oh
Is it true?
What they say of you

Gonna call the President
Gonna call up the Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI

There?s not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you gave
I'll follow you
To when you plead the fifth, that?d be the end of time, its true

Wouldn?t be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last I should have known
All the rumors I can tell,
Some things didn't work so well

Well anyway, it feels the same

When you first told me you were gone
So long ago, but I've been here long
To all the motions that I had to see
That's the truth and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter the things I say
You made your mind up and gone anyway
There's no use now in dragging it on
Could've seen it coming all along

Well it?s true...ooh...I had
but don?t forget

Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover, and the headlines too now

[Robin Fuckin' Finck Solo]

I been doing this all for my health,
I should've looked again then at somebody else
Feel like I done way more than wrong
Feelin like I'm living inside of this song
Feelin like I'm just too tired to care
Feelin like I done more than my share
Could it be the weight that I've carried on
Like a broken record for so long

And I do?
Ooh, oh.
I'm Gonna call the President,
I'm gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the IRS,
Gonna need myself the FBI

Ooh, what shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you know it?s true

[Bucket/Bumble solo]

Gonna call the president
Gonna get myself a private eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover and the headlines too

There's not anymore that I can do

[Jhestas]

cool song

[The Catcher]

I'm very eager to hear what the album version of this song sounds like.
It's been one of my favourites for quite some time now! I'm very happy it's on the album!

[w.axl.rose]

i thought this thread was gone till the album drops.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

i thought this thread was gone till the album drops.

Obviously not. 

It's good that what's-his-face above you found the thread.  Sure beats searching for something for a long time.

That, and by this time next week we can talk about it!

[benfolds4980]

i always thought the beginning was

There?s not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you gave
I'll follow you
To Where you'd lead, and if that'd be the end of time its true
