Lyrics
Hvor cool kan man være, ja hvor cool er jeg, spørger jeg
Når jeg tjener penge, gør jeg det til en leg, gør jeg
Legen er vel egentlig ikke synderlig speciel
Jeg tager fra de rige og jeg giver til mig selv!
Jeg har taget fra de fattige og grinet når de peb
Ingen køer er hellige, jeg bruger alle kneb
Mine forældre synes bestemt det lød så pænt hvis jeg hed Morten
Men hvis du vil kalde mig Jazzy er det også helt i orden
Navnet har hængt ved en ti års tid vil jeg tro
Fra en gang hvor jeg hang inde på Vesterbro
Der hvor nogen ikke har noget og hvor nogen har en masse
Når man hænger med de dumme, så er man dum, hvis ikke man scorer kassen
Så jeg begyndte at lave mønter uden at svede
På alle de vamle gamle mænd og deres liderlighed
De betaler for en spiller, spilder tiden for vildt
Og det er fint så længe det ikke er min tid der bliver spildt
Og spild af tid er det at sidde og vende hver mønt
Før man giver den væk og alligevel slet ikke har råd til pynt
Pynt har selvfølgelig ikke noget at gøre med jul
Pynt det er Rolex, Ray-Ban og Sort guld
Pynt er en bil med panel af kastanie
Pynt er de piger der kan købes med champagne
Pynten rullede ind så længe pigerne kunne skrabe
En masse dadler hjem, men det var dem med en helt forkert farve
Og når farver er forkerte hvad skal de så nytte?
Jeg besluttede mig for at få iværksætterstøtte
Den første biks jeg åbnede var med pornofilm på postordre
Hulledukker, gummiting, lekture fra Rapport
Og der var godt gang i lortet i de første par år
Men der er ingenting tilbage når Kongens foged går
Plasticstandsede dansedukker havde jeg fået støbt
På et plasticstøberi jeg undervejs havde købt
Butikken der gik i betalingsstandsning standsede
Som min standse dansedukke produktion, og der er kom en fandens masse pansere
Talte alle de tal der alt i alt var alt hvad der skulle være
Intet gemt intet glemt, det stemte som jeg sagde
Og heldigvis for gælden i mit plasticstøberi
Var helt legalt betalt som løn til firma nummer 3
Men det var sgu' for farligt så jeg tømte mine selskaber
Bossen tudede da han røg ud og jeg fik sagt: Farvel taber!
Så var der Baltica-agentens kolde sved
Da han hørte at støberiet og mit lager var brændt ned
Der var sgu' noget der brændte, men det meste blev solgt
Den firmabil der giver mig stil var alt hvad jeg beholdt
Jeg tog en chance skiftede branche til designerdrugs
De var lette at omsætte til god dansk box
Jeg kendte en person med lidt forstand på kemi
Fra en tid på Novo Nordisk der forlængst var forbi
Einar som han hed var en totalt syret fyr
Men han kunne lide at koge kolber, han var ikke særlig dyr
Og han havde alt i alt leveret små 100 kg piller
At levere noget mere kunne jeg let få ham til
Og han leverede når jeg investerede femhundrede kroner
Gav det 20.000 dadler i ren provision
Og det er jo ganske sund business men det er da også til grin
Hvis man har en Jaguar og ikke har råd til benzin
Jeg regnede med at tjene ca. 20 kilo mere
Efter en tur forbi Vesterbro, Einars kvarter
Han så frisk ud, jeg havde først prøvet klokken
Så havde jeg banket nogle gange ude af takt med heavyrocken
Da den blev skruet ned havde jeg banket igen
En stemme havde spurgt hvem jeg var og jeg havde svaret den
Så blev en kæde og en slå slået fra
Der stod han jeg kunne næsten ikke se hvem det var
For han så frisk ud, det var sgu' mærkværdigt
For så længe jeg havde kendt ham havde han altid ihærdigt
Forsøgt om han kunne flyve med lidt hjælp fra kemi
Og piller kunne han lave i sit hjemmedrugdesigneri
Og frisk så han ud, jeg sagde: «Einar, hvad så?»
Han sagde: «Hvordan går det Jazzy? Kom inden for.»
Og hold kæft hvor var der rodet der var Einar han boede
Jeg banede mig vej hen til hvor møblerne stod
Han sagde: «Sæt dig ned. Vil du have noget te?»
«Te!?!»,"Ja, det er det der i breve du ve'."
Jeg sagde: «Måske når jeg har fået de der drugs som du har lovet.»
Han sagde: «Jeg skal først lige fortælle dig noget.»
Jeg sagde: «Einar, tag dig sammen. Du har fandeme haft en uge, så lad være med
at sige de ikke er færdige endnu.»
Han sagde: «Nej, slap nu af Jazz. Det hele er fedt. Det er næsten samme
opskrift. Jeg har bare ændret lidt.»
Jeg sagde: «Det er okay med mig, men hvordan kan det være
At du ændrer på noget der er fint som det er?»
Han sagde: «Fint og fint. Det ved jeg ikke om de var
Når man tog dem blev man underlig man grinede jo bare
Og man så mærkelige farver, man væltede rundt
Og sådan noget er altså ikke særlig sundt.»
Og så fablede han om helsekost sundhedstrip og æblemost
Og alt det shit der mangler i almindelig kost
Vitamin fra A til Z og Chrom-Selen og Natusan
Manden var for syg og så sagde jeg: «Hvad fanden
Har det med mig at gøre? En snak om helsepløre
Er ikke lige det jeg er kommet for at høre.»
Han sagde: «Jazzy, de er gode. Du skal ikke være bange
De er bedre end de gamle. Du skulle prøve dem engang
Jeg har spist dem i en uge og jeg har det for godt
De hjælper mod migræne og forkølelsessnot
De kan hjælpe på din blege og usunde hud.»
Jeg sagde: «Det rager ikke dig hvordan jeg går og ser ud
Men det rager mig en del hvis det er rigtigt du fortæller
At du ikke har lavet drugs, men vitaminpiller!»
Han sagde: «Det er både vitaminer, mineraler og klid.»
Jeg sagde: «Hvad fanden. Det kan jeg da ikke bruge til en skid!»
«Arrrhhh… Men hør nu lige her…», «Nej hør selv lige mester:
Jeg skal levere dope til en af byens techno-fester
Der er DJ’s nede fra Tyskland, der kommer op og spiller
Tror du de vil gå og gufle vitaminpiller?»
«Ja for det de ikke ved har de vel heller ikke ondt af
Det fede er at dem her får de det sundt af
De får hverken depressioner eller hjernen stegt
Og det meste af et trip er psykologisk effekt
Så hvis du nu siger at det er det fede de har fået
Så er der sgu' ingen der opdager noget.»
Jeg sagde: «Når folk de dropper dope så vil de fandeme også ku' mærke det
Lav de piller om, og det skal eddermame gå stærkt.»
Han sagde: «Aldrig! Min recept den er for suveræn.»
Jeg sagde: «Fint. Så giv mig mine penge igen.»
Han sagde: «Hvad for nogen penge?», «Ja alle dem jeg gav dig
For at lave ecstasy til glade dansepsykopater
Vitaminer gør dem simpelthen i dårligt humør, du
Så jeg skal ud at finde mig en ny leverandør nu
Og derfor skal jeg have mine penge tilbage.»
Einar han rystede på sit hoved og sagde:
«Jeg har brugt dem på metaller og lagt ud for mineraler
Og det jeg har lagt ud vil jeg godt have du betaler.»
«Du får fandeme ikke mere. Jeg har sgu' fået nok besvær
De lorte vitaminer er jo ingenting værd.»
Han sagde: «Hvad fanden ved du om kvalitetsmedicin?
Dit småfascistoide og nærige svin?»
Og jeg kunne se på hans friske fjæs, der ikke var noget at gøre
Så jeg tog hans vitaminer og gik ud af hans dør
Lyrics translation
How cool can one be, yes how cool am I, I ask
When I make money, I make it a game, do I
I guess the game isn't really very special
I take from the rich and I give to myself!
I've taken from the poor and laughed when they whined
No cows are holy, I use every trick
My parents certainly thought it sounded so nice if my name was Morten
But if you want to call me Jazzy that's all right too
The name has been hanging around for ten years I guess
From a time I was hanging in Vesterbro
There where someone has nothing and where someone has a lot
When you hang with the stupid ones, you're stupid if you don't score the money
So I started making coins without sweating
On all the nasty old men and their lechery
They pay for a player, wasting time too wildly
And that's fine as long as it's not my time being wasted
And a waste of time is sitting and turning every coin
Before you give it away and yet you can't afford decorations at all
Ornaments of course have nothing to do with Christmas
Decorate it is Rolex, Ray-Ban and Black Gold
Decoration is a car with panel of Chestnut
Ornaments are those girls who can be bought with champagne
The ornament rolled in as long as the girls could scrape
A lot of dates home, but it was the ones with a completely wrong color
And when colors are wrong what do they need?
I decided to get entrepreneurial support
The first store I opened was with porn movies on mail order
Hole dolls, gummiting, lekture from report
And the shit was going on for the first few years
But there is nothing left when the King's bailiff leaves
Plastic stoppered dance dolls had I got cast
On a plastic foundry I had bought along the way
The shop that went into suspension of payments stopped
Like my stop dance doll production, and there's come a damn lot of cops
Counted all the numbers that all in all were all that was supposed to be
Nothing saved nothing forgotten, it voted as I said
And luckily for the debt in my plastic Foundry
Was completely legally paid as a salary to company number 3
But it was too fucking dangerous so I emptied my companies
The boss was crying when he got out and I got to say goodbye loser!
Then there was the cold sweat of the Baltica agent
When he heard that the foundry and my warehouse had burned down
Something burned, but most of it was sold
The company car that gives me style was all I kept
I took a chance changed the industry to designer drugs
They were easy to translate into good Danish box
I knew a person with a little sense of chemistry
From a time on Novo Nordisk that long ago was over
Einar as he was called was a totally freaky guy
But he liked to boil flasks, he was not very expensive
And all in all he had delivered small 100 kg pills
Delivering something more I could easily get him to
And he delivered when I invested five hundred kroner
Gave it 20,000 dates in pure commission
And it's quite healthy business but it's a joke too
If you have a Jaguar and can't afford gasoline
I was counting on earning approx. 20 kilos more
After a walk past Vesterbro, Einar's neighborhood
He looked fresh, I had first tried the bell
Then I would have knocked sometimes out of step with the heavy rock
When it was turned down I had knocked again
A voice had asked who I was and I had answered it
Then a chain and a beating were torn off
There he said I could hardly see who it was
'Cause he looked fresh, that was fucking weird
For as long as I had known him he always had tenacious
Tried whether he could fly with a little help from chemistry
And pills he could make in his home drug design
And fresh he looked, I said, " Einar, what's up?»
He said, " How's it going Jazzy? Get inside.»
And what a mess there was Einar he lived
I made my way to where the furniture was
He said, " sit down. You want some tea?»
"Tea!?!", "Yes, that's what in letters you've got."
I said, " Maybe when I get the drugs you promised.»
He said, " I have to tell you something first.»
I said, "Einar, pull yourself together. You've had a fucking week, so don't
to say they're not done yet.»
He said, " No, just relax Jazz. It's all great. It's almost the same
recipe. I just changed a little.»
I said ," it's okay with me, but how can it be
That you're changing something that's fine as it is?»
He said, " Fine and fine. I don't know if they were
When you took them you got weird you just laughed
And you saw strange colors, you tossed around
And that's not very healthy.»
And then he raved about health food health Strip and apple cheese
And all the shit that is missing in ordinary Diet
Vitamins from A to Z and chromium selenium and Natusan
The man was too sick and I said, " what the hell
Does that have to do with me? A talk about health
Isn't exactly what I've come to hear.»
He said, " Jazzy, they're good. Don't be afraid
They're better than the old ones. You should try them sometime
I've been eating them for a week and I feel too good
They help against migraines and cold snot
They can help on your pale and unhealthy skin.»
I said, " it's none of your business how I look
But I don't give a shit if that's right you're telling me
That you have not made drugs, but vitamin pills!»
He said: "it's both vitamins, minerals and Bran.»
I said, " what the hell. I can't use that for shit!»
"Arrrhhh hør but listen to this mester", " no, listen to yourself, champ:
I have to deliver dope to one of the city's techno parties
There are DJs down from Germany who come up and play
Do you think they'll go and chew vitamin pills?»
"Yes, for what they do not know they do not feel sorry for either
The cool thing is that these are the ones that make them healthy
They don't get any depression or brain fried
And most of a trip is psychological effect
So what if you say that's what they got
Nobody's gonna notice.»
I said, " When people drop dope, they'll feel it, too
Change those pills, and I want it to go fast.»
He said, " Never! My prescription it's too great.»
I said, " Fine. Then give me my money again.»
He said, " what money?", "Yes all the ones I gave you
To make ecstasy for happy dance psychopaths
Vitamins make them simply in a bad mood, you
So I'm going to find myself a new supplier now
And that's why I need my money back.»
Einar he shook his head and said:
"I have spent them on metals and laid out for minerals
And what I've laid out, I want you to pay.»
"You're not getting any more. I've had enough trouble
These shitty vitamins are worth nothing.»
He said, " what the hell do you know about quality medicine?
You little fascist and stingy bastard?»
And I could look at his fresh face, there was nothing to do
So I took his vitamins and walked out his door
