The perfect theme song for Tax Day: Plumb’s “I Have Nothing”:

Naked I showed up here
With nothing to my name
Pure and crazy, blameless
Baby I’m ashamed

And naked I will leave here
With nothing left to say
My pockets full of empty
And now I’m not to blame

I have nothing (I don’t want it)
I have nothing (I don’t need it)
I have nothing (You can have it)
I have nothing, nothing, nothing

So catch me when I’m falling
Into strange, elusive state
And kick me when I’m stingy
Take everything away

‘Cause yesterday is gone now
And tomorrow isn’t sure
Today is all I’m given
And what I have is yours

‘Cause I have nothing (I don’t want it)
I have nothing (I don’t need it)
I have nothing (You can have it)
I have nothing, nothing, nothing

Oh why do I put so much time
In things I leave behind
That were never mine?

Oh why?

I have nothing (I don’t want it)
I have nothing (I don’t need it)
I have nothing (You can have it)
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
