Originally a three-piece guitar/bass/drum combination, the band incorporates accordion, horns, piano, harmonica, and other instruments during recording sessions.

The Taxpayers Lyrics
Molotov! Flying at the mayor
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
What a man to never stand back down
Nor tolerate the lies
He didn't wanna piss away
His basic human rights
We asked him to join us
But he didn't wanna fight
So now he's working for the city
For the rest of his life
Molotov! Flying at the mayor
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
Molotov! Flying at the mayor
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
What a man to never stand back down
Nor tolerate the lies
He didn't wanna piss away
His basic human rights
But he didn't wanna fight
So now he's working for the city
For the rest of his life
Molotov! Flying at the mayor
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
Molotov! Flying at the mayor
Molotov! Tearin' down the walls (Hey! Hey)
Molotov! For the filthy politicians
Within the hour now
We're takin over city hall
