Breathe in the air, but don’t take too much.
Breathe in and beware: (you will) pay what you must.
We’ll recycle your dead air, then we’ll put it on a sale.
Breathe in the fumes, there isn’t much left.
Unless you pay (pay, pay), we will empty your chest.
We’ll recycle your dead air, then we’ll put it on a sale.
Pay us your breath to lie awake,
Pay the oxygen we make.
Do not think of running away,
You’ll run out of air before you break free,
Then you’ll have to pay for your spree
And the next tax will be on your veins.
Breathe in your share, not one atom more,
Unless you’re prepared to pay what you’ll owe.
We’ll recycle your dead air, then we’ll put it on a sale.
Breathe in and beware: we’re hangmen in ties,
And no, we don’t care: if you don’t pay, you could die...
We’ll recycle your dead air, then we’ll put it on a sale.
Pay us your breath to lie awake,
Pay the oxygen we make.
Do not think of running away,
You’ll run out of air before you break free,
Then you’ll have to pay for your spree
And the next tax will be on your veins.
