“Tax Ng Ina Mo Recto” is a biting yet hilarious protest anthem from Machine SoundWaves, echoing the collective frustration of ordinary Filipinos buried under endless taxes. Blending wit, sarcasm, and humor, the song turns anger into laughter—calling out a finance minister named Recto, whose obsession with raising taxes seems to know no bounds.

From electricity to bread, every verse captures the absurd reality of paying more while getting less, with corruption and luxury still thriving at the top. The title itself sounds like a curse, symbolizing the people’s outrage disguised in a playful melody.

Catchy, comedic, and cleverly critical, “Tax Ng Ina Mo Recto” gives voice to the nation’s exasperation—reminding everyone that sometimes, the best way to protest… is to sing and laugh out loud.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Pag-gising sa umaga, may buwis na naman,
Kuryente, tubig, pati hangin na lang!
Sa bawat galaw, may tax na kasama,
“Para sa bayan daw,” pero saan napupunta?
May bagong batas, bagong kaltas,
Lahat ng kinita, binabawasan agad!
Recto sabi, “Trust me, it’s for growth,”
Pero ’yung bulsa namin, walang "growth".!

[Chorus]
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Bawat hakbang, may bawas sa aking sweldo!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Walang natira, pati panlasa ko, zero!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
’Wag mong sabihing para sa progreso,
Dahil mga buwayang katulad mo lang nakikinabang dito!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!

[Verse 2]
Sabi mo, for “Economic Growth!”
Pero kami, puro kahirapan at "inflation!"
Naglalakad papunta sa trabaho,
Pero may tax pa rin sa kalsadang sira dahil sa nakaw!
Baka pati paghinga, may tax na rin?
“Tax on air,” sabi mo, coming soon within!
’Pag nagreklamo, sasabihing walang ambag,
Eh ’yung buwis namin, diba ambag namin sa luho nyo?

[Chorus]
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Bawat galaw, may patong na bago!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Wag mong gawing gatasang baka ang tao!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Dami mong plano pero wala kaming ginhawa,
Kayo’y nakaupo sa luho, kami’y nagdurusa,
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!

[Verse 3]
Nagpadala ng ayuda, pero may bawas din,
Tax-in, tax-out, parang magic trick!
"Insertion" na naman, may bagong twist,
Sa dulo kami pa rin ang nawalan!
May tax sa trabaho, tax sa pagkain,
Baka pati sa tulog, may bayad by the "night?"
Recto, oo ka sa lahat ng dagdag,
Pero sa taumbayan, puro bawas at laglag!

[Chorus]
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Bawat galaw, may patong na bago!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Wag mong gawing gatasang baka ang tao!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Dami mong plano pero wala kaming ginhawa,
Kayo’y nakaupo sa luho, kami’y nagdurusa,
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!

[Final Chorus]
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Pati kaluluwa namin, gusto mong lagyan ng vat!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Sa bawat hinga, may resibong katapat!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Bago mo dagdagan, subukan mong manalamin—
’Yung pera naming kinukuha mo, dugo’t pawis namin ’yon,
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
Tax ng ina mo, Recto!
