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. |
