Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brussels dropped a hammer, one billion on the pile
Google got the invoice, Washington went wild
Trump picks up the microphone, voice like cracking ice
"You're robbing our tech giants — and you will pay the price"
A retaliatory tariff threat, substantial and severe
The EU fined the search king, now the trade war reappears

[Chorus]
Tariffs on the table, sanctions on the shelf
Every bloc is playing politics for itself
Google got the fine, Trump lit the fuse today
The transatlantic standoff — nobody wants to pay
Brass hits and breaking headlines, twenty-twenty-six
Europe and America, locked inside the mix

[Verse 2]
Washington launched a probe — they're calling it "illegal"
Brussels says their competition law is fair and equal
France 24 reports it, Politico confirms
Al Jazeera watching closely as the tension squirms
A word for you: tumultuous — chaotic, stormy, raw
That's exactly how this trade dispute looks under international law

[Chorus]
Tariffs on the table, sanctions on the shelf
Every bloc is playing politics for itself
Google got the fine, Trump lit the fuse today
The transatlantic standoff — nobody wants to pay
Brass hits and breaking headlines, twenty-twenty-six
Europe and America, locked inside the mix

[Bridge]
Meanwhile east of Brussels, sanctions number twenty-one
The EU turns the pressure up on Moscow's revenue
Russian energy gets targeted, crypto, financial flows
The Council hits the oligarchs wherever the money goes
Opprobrium — that's scorn made formal, written into law
The bloc is sending signals sharp as any tariff war

[Verse 3]
The Supreme Court struck a tariff down back home in the USA
So Washington relaunched a brand-new version anyway
The legal chess keeps moving, every square is charged
From Silicon Valley fines to Russian banks embargoed and enlarged
Two storylines colliding on a single summer day
Tech giants, trade, and sanctions — Europe's got a lot to say

[Verse 4]
The diplomats are texting, the lobbyists are loud
Silicon Valley lawyers buried somewhere in the crowd
Every algorithm, every search result, every click
Now becomes a bargaining chip inside the politic
Hegemony contested — who controls the digital lane?
The fine was just the opening move, now everyone's in the game

[Chorus]
Tariffs on the table, sanctions on the shelf
Every bloc is playing politics for itself
Google got the fine, Trump lit the fuse today
The transatlantic standoff — nobody wants to pay
Brass hits and breaking headlines, twenty-twenty-six
Europe and America, locked inside the mix

[Outro]
July twenty-fifth, mark it in your feed
The EU fined Google, Trump disagreed
Twenty-first sanctions hit Moscow hard
The transatlantic chessboard — every side on guard
