We can never know about what local government will do
But we think we have a say, anyway
Taxation without representation
Didn’t the Revolutionary War make this go away, ay ay…?

Annexation, annexation
Is making me pay
Is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how angry it feels to get the tax bill
And how wrong the tax man’s clutches feel round me
But, I, I rehearsed these lines just late last year
Thinkin about how right a law suit might be…

Annexation, annexation
Is making me pay
Is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow the Supreme Court might just decide
I’m no prophet and I don’t know how the judges will sway
So, I’ll try and see into the future right now
And hope involuntary annexation will forever go away, ay ay…

These are the good old days
Stay right here ‘cause annexation is still okay, ay ay…
These are the good old days
Chapel Hill and Carrboro can still annex away, ay ay…
These are the good old days
