Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
あの子もいいな　あの子もいいな	ano ko mo ii na ano ko mo ii na	"Hey, that girl is pretty great... Her too!"
頭の中でイイコトしてる	atama no naka de ii koto shiteru	Looks like you’re thinking some pretty nice thoughts over there...
あなたはそれで満足ですか？	anata wa sore de manzoku desu ka?	Are you really satisfied with just that?
叶えたいとは思いませんか？	kanaetai to wa omoimasen ka?	Don’t you think it’d be nice for it all to come true?

あの子でいいや　あの子でいいや	ano ko de ii ya ano ko de ii ya	“That girl is alright... That one works too, I guess”
妥協大好き　飲む針千本	dakyou daisuki nomu harisenbon	Pretending you love compromise, what a liar!^[1]
あなたはそれで満足ですか？	anata wa sore de manzoku desu ka?	Are you really satisfied with just that?
叶えたいとは思いませんか？	kanaetai to wa omoimasen ka?	Don’t you think it’d be nice for it all to come true?

納めましょう妄想税	osamemashou mousouzei	Let’s pay the Delusion Tax
皆様の暮らしを豊かにするために	minasama no kurashi o yutaka ni suru tame ni	For the sake of making everyone’s life oh so wonderful…

叶えたいを現実に	kanaetai o genjitsu ni	Turning wishes into reality
今、未来を買い戻せ	ima, mirai o kaimodose	Right now, buy back your future!
アレしたい病も　欲しがりも	are shitai byou mo hoshigari mo	Afflicted by so badly wanting to do “that”, consumed by desire
さあ、痛いのその向こうへ	saa, itai no sono mukou e	Come now, let’s go beyond all this pain

そう、汚い妄想は汚いお金で解決させましょう	sou, kitanai mousou wa kitanai okane de kaiketsu sasemashou	That’s right, for all these dirty delusions, let’s settle the bill with this dirty money

明日はきっと　明日はきっと	ashita wa kitto ashita wa kitto	"Surely tomorrow, surely tomorrow,
僕が世界の中心なので	boku ga sekai no chuushin nano de	Since I'll be the centre of this world..."
あなたはそれで満足ですか？	anata wa sore de manzoku desu ka?	Are you really satisfied with that?
叶えたいとは思いませんか？	kanaetai to wa omoimasen ka?	Don’t you think it’d be nice for it all to come true?

あなたのための　あなたのための	anata no tame no anata no tame no	Existing for your sake alone,
愛しき制度　優しい義務化	itoshiki seido yasashii gimuka	mandatory affections and obligated kindness
満足ですが、中には「NO!」と	manzoku desu ga, naka ni wa "NO!" to	Though you should be satisfied, a voice
声を荒げる　馬鹿も居るのです	koe o arageru baka mo iru no desu	from within shouts “NO!” We have an idiot on our hands, it seems...

納めましょう妄想税	osamemashou mousouzei	Let’s pay that Delusion Tax
皆様の暮らしを豊かにするために	minasama no kurashi o yutaka ni suru tame ni	For the sake of making everyone’s life oh so wonderful…

叶わないよ　払わなきゃ	kanawanai yo harawanakya	None of it will come true if you don't pay the price
ほら"したい分"を　借り入れろ	hora “shitai bun” o kariirero	Look, just up and borrow the "desired amount"
ほろ苦いもんだ　現実は	horonigai mon da, genjitsu wa	Reality is a bitter-sweet pill to swallow
さあ、痛いのその向こうへ	saa, itai no sono mukou e	Come now, let’s go beyond all this pain

そう、汚い妄想は汚いお金で解決させましょう	sou, kitanai mousou wa kitanai okane de kaiketsu sasemashou	That’s right, for all these dirty delusions, let’s settle the bill with this dirty money

君が願うことも君が想う人も	kimi ga negau koto mo kimi ga omou hito mo	That which you wish for, the person you think of,
君が憎む過去も思い通りだよ	kimi ga nikumu kako mo omoidoori da yo	The past which you hate as well, they’ll all be as you like.
君が欲しい顔も君が欲しい胸も	kimi ga hoshii kao mo kimi ga hoshii mune mo	The kind of face and chest you desire,
払えば叶うので	haraeba kanau no de	they’ll be granted if you pay.

「約束だよ」	"yakusoku da yo"	“It’s a promise”

納めましょう妄想税	osamemashou mousouzei	Let’s pay that Delusion Tax
我々の暮らしを豊かにするために	wareware no kurashi o yutaka ni suru tame ni	For the sake of making our lives oh so wonderful…

叶えたいを現実に	kanaetai o genjitsu ni	Turning wishes into reality
今、未来を買い戻せ	ima, mirai o kaimodose	Right now, buy back your future!
アレしたい病も　欲しがりも	are shitai byou mo hoshigari mo	Afflicted by so badly wanting to do “that”, consumed by desire
さあ、痛いのその向こうへ	saa, itai no sono mukou e	Come now, let’s go beyond all this pain

叶わないよ　払ったって	kanawanai yo haratta tte	But those wishes won't really come true, even if you pay
全部Lie さ大嘘だ	zenbu Lie sa oouso da	For it’s all a lie, a great big farce
どうも39 ました　もういいよ	doumo sankyuu mashita mou ii yo	Thanks for all that, that's plenty
この紙切れは　僕のもんだ	kono kamikire wa boku no mon da	These scraps of paper belongs to me now

そう、汚い妄想は汚いお金で解決させましょう	sou, kitanai mousou wa kitanai okane de kaiketsu sasemashou	That’s right, for all these dirty delusions, let’s settle the bill with this dirty money.
