a country mustn't over spend

Once it was SST

Everybody used to it

The tax for the government

Filling up its coffers

For decades it was

Nobody really complained

It was accepted as a fact of life

We have to pay taxes even in death

Then one smart aleck

He wanted to tax every chain

From top to bottom has to pay

Rich or poor the tax came

He rolled out GST

It pulled in the cash

It made the people angry

Everyone started to curse

Then GE14 came

The voters kicked out his party

One reason is GST

Now PH rolled in SST

A country mustn’t over spend

It is a wrong way to develop a nation

Once the debts keep piling up

Even taxes will not help
