Lyrics €30,000 - Emperor X

€30,000

I owe € 30,000 to the German corporation
That just cured me of a terminal cancer
Now I’ve got 87 notices reminding me
They can’t care at all, if my ending came too soon
At the Syrian border
Explosive belts hung from balloons means no more debt
Then I spent $ 37 on a ticket to an island
Where I hid my wealth in fraudulent bank accounts
And dropped 100 Danish kroner on a Visa fee
Would they notice it, if my ending came too soon
With my papers in order?
Drunken doctor holds his breath when we get out tonight
(Oooh, cisplatin!
Oooh, bleomycin!
Oooh, etoposide!)
To the Peshmerga
(Oooh, cisplatin!
Oooh, bleomycin!
Oooh, etoposide!)
To subvert tragedy
(We gotta get it)
(Oooh, cisplatin!
Oooh, bleomycin!
Oooh, etoposide!)
Ja!
Na!
We killed it!
I killed a hundred million cells of embryonal carcinoma
With the love that caused my middle-age heart to burst
Then I completed every blank left on my tax return
And ran the mile or so, to the gunshop with my card
And my multi recorder
I held my ground, I tried so hard, but they still said
I just spent over seven hours in an office in Corona
Where the clerk showed me no human compassion
If they spend 40 hours dealing with that every week
Would you let it slide, if they held their hands up high
In a kind surrender?
If they embraced the human tide?
If they bled?
And they’re right
They’re the order
And they deserve to sleep
To be warm
To be well
But I can’t pay!
I owe € 30,000 to the hospital
I spent $ 37 on commuter flights
I killed a hundred million cells of embryonal carcinoma
I just spent seven boring hours at the HRA
Forgive (forgive)
Forgive (forgive)
Forgive (forgive)
Forgive (forgive)
Or open fire (or open fire)
Or open fire (or open fire)
Or open fire (or open fire)
Or open fire (or open fire)
Or both
