[Verse 1] The Income Tax Act spreads before us like a blueprint maze Part One holds the beating heart, where all taxation plays Division A declares who owes, just sections three and four Division B computes your wealth from five to one-two-seven's door [Chorus] A-B-C then skip to E, the architecture's clear Liability, computation, credits drawing near Taxable income calculated, then the final sum Part Eleven-One and higher when special cases come [Verse 2] Division C from one-ten on determines what you owe Deductions and the credits that make your burden grow or slow Division E starts one-seventeen, computes the final bite But notice what's left undefined in black and white [Chorus] A-B-C then skip to E, the architecture's clear Liability, computation, credits drawing near Taxable income calculated, then the final sum Part Eleven-One and higher when special cases come [Bridge] Section two, three, four reveal the skeleton But gaps in definition tell us what's left undone The silence speaks as loudly as the words upon the page Missing pieces guide interpretation's stage [Verse 3] Beyond Part One the special taxes lurk in numbered parts Eleven-point-one forward where complexity departs From core income taxation to specialized domains The Act's division tells the story of its reins [Final Chorus] A-B-C then skip to E, remember this refrain Liability through computation to the tax you'll gain What's absent holds importance just like what is there The Income Tax Act's blueprint floating in the air [Outro] Divisions mapping money's flow from source to final debt The structure tells the story that you'll never forget
