€30,000 - Emperor X

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)
