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, 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

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
