Lyrics[]
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 電源要らずの拡声器です、 | dengen irazu no kakuseiki desu, | We’re megaphones that need no power source, |
| ペラペラお喋り、ペラペラ個性 | perapera oshaberi, perapera kosei | Chattering incessantly with glib personalities. |
| ライフハック見てソッコーブクマ、 | raifu hakku mite sokkoo bukuma, | We bookmark life hacks the second we see them |
| 押しつけがましくRT | oshitsukegamashiku RT | And insistently retweet. |
| いきなり突然、正義に目覚め、 | ikinari totsuzen, seigi ni mezame, | We, out of the blue, become conscious of justice, |
| 環境問題なんかを語る | kankyou mondai nanka o kataru | Lecturing about environmental issues or whatever. |
| 情緒纏綿、大言壮語、 | joushotenmen, taigensougo | We spam the heart emoji, talk a big game, |
| 自家撞着、笑止千万 | jikadouchaku, shoushisenban | Contradict ourselves, and end up as utter clowns. |
| 空気読めと、促されて | kuuki yome to, unagasarete | We’re urged to read the room, |
| 明日も無個性安心保険 | ashita mo mukosei anshin hoken | So tomorrow like usual, we’ll have the safety net of showing no personality. |
| これで大丈夫！あなたも空気！ | kore de daijoubu! anata mo kuuki! | Everything will be fine with that! You too don’t even register! |
| 黒く塗れと、言われ続け | kuroku nure to, iware tsuzuke | We’re repeatedly told to paint it black, |
| 必死に四角いマークシートを | hisshi ni shikakui maaku shiito o | So we frantically bubble in the answers on the scantron |
| 綺麗に塗って合格もらう | kirei ni nutte goukaku morau | (Never going outside the lines) and receive passing grades. |
| 完全論破で俺TUEEEEとか | kanzen ronpa de ore TUEEEE toka | We take a philosophic view by raising our eyebrows |
| 斜に構えたりして達観してる | sha ni kamaetari shite takkan shiteru | At those who go, “Checkmate, piss baby! I’m the goat!” |
| 批判すりゃ一人前、そんなご時世 | hihan suryaa ichininmae, sonna gojisei | We come of age through criticism in that sort of climate, |
| 枝葉末節、寄り道ライフ | shiyou massetsu, yorimichi raifu | Leading lives of nitpicking and digressions. |
| そんな頭じゃ大事なこと忘れちゃうね | sonna atama ja daiji na koto wasurechau ne | We totally forget the important things with that sort of mindset, |
| 目の前見えない、何かぶつかる | me no mae mienai, nanika butsukaru | And collide with something, unable to see what’s right in front of us. |
| 世界に指先からアクセス | sekai ni yubisaki kara akusesu | We have access to the world at our fingertips, |
| ソーシャル・炎上 まとめて皆、大爆発 | soosharu enjou matomete mina, daibakuhatsu | So we start a shitstorm for someone all together on social media. |
| コドモ様たちは今日も元気に | kodomosamatachi wa kyou mo genki ni | Today like usual, you children |
| 有害物質パクパク食べる | yuugai busshitsu pakupaku taberu | Are gobbling up toxic substances in good spirits. |
| オトナ様たちは今日も箱詰め | otonasamatachi wa kyou mo hakozume | Today like usual, you adults |
| 電車でユラユラ揺れる | densha de yurayura yureru | Are packed onto the trains like sardines, being jostled back and forth. |
| ハッピーライフはテンプレ通り | happii raifu wa tenpuredoori | There’s no way a happy life |
| いくことなんてあるわきゃない | iku koto nante aru wakya nai | Will go according to such a formulaic template. |
| だから撒き散らすドクドク悪意 | dakara makichirasu dokudoku akui | That’s why we spew our ill will everywhere. |
| アナタ様達に幸あれ！ | anatasamatachi ni sachi are! | May all of you live, laugh, love! |
| 長い人生何を選ぶ？ | nagai jinsei nani o erabu? | What do you choose for a long life? |
| 時間を無駄にはできないはずが、 | jikan o muda ni wa dekinai hazu ga, | We shouldn’t be able to waste our time, |
| 気が付きゃ年末、 | ki ga tsukya nenmatsu, | But by the time we snap out of it, we’re ringing in the new year |
| 今年も空気 | kotoshi mo kuuki | And realizing the old one didn’t even register. |
| 黒く塗れば、黒歴史も | kuroku nureba, kurorekishi mo | Do we think that no one will know about our dark pasts |
| わかりゃしない、とか思っているか？ | wakarya shinai, toka omotte iru ka? | If we paint everything black or something? |
| そんな事はないのさ、歴史は繰り返す | sonna koto wa nai no sa, rekishi wa kurikaesu | That ain’t gonna happen—history repeats itself. |
| 祭りだ！ | matsuri da! | Party time! |
| 対岸の岸は青い芝生でも、 | taigan no kishi wa aoi shibafu demo, | Even if it’s always greener on the other side, |
| 燃えたらそれでお終いですぜ | moetara sore de oshimai desu ze | All that grass can go up in flames. |
| どれだけ着飾ろうと人間のサガ、 | dore dake kikazarou to ningen no saga, | No matter how much we try to dress up |
| 隠すことなどできやしないさ | kakusu koto nado dekiyashinai sa | Our human nature, we can’t hide it at all. |
| アイツもコイツもドイツもソイツも | aitsu mo koitsu mo doitsu mo soitsu mo | Anywhere you look, they’re saying |
| ○○□□透明な声 | marumaru shikajika toumei na koe | Yadayada blah blah blah in colorless voices. |
| しんどすぎるエブリデー、折角生きるなら | shindosugiru eburidee, sekkaku ikiru nara | If we’re living through an everyday that’s so bad we need self-care to cope, |
| 完全装備で不条理皆、大虐殺 | kanzen soubi de fujouri mina, daigyakusatsu | Let’s use the perfect equipment to massacre all these absurdities. |
| 完全論破で俺TUEEEEとか | kanzen ronpa de ore TUEEEE toka | We take a philosophic view by raising our eyebrows |
| 斜に構えたりして達観してる | sha ni kamaetari shite takkan shiteru | At those who go, “Checkmate, piss baby! I’m the goat!” |
| 批判すりゃ一人前、そんなご時世 | hihan suryaa ichininmae, sonna gojisei | We come of age through criticism in that sort of climate, |
| 枝葉末節、寄り道ライフ | shiyou massetsu, yorimichi raifu | Leading lives of nitpicking and digressions. |
| そんな頭じゃ大事なこと忘れちゃうね | sonna atama ja daiji na koto wasurechau ne | We totally forget the important things with that sort of mindset, |
| 目の前見えない、何かぶつかる | me no mae mienai, nanika butsukaru | And collide with something, unable to see what’s right in front of us. |
| 世界に指先からアクセス | sekai ni yubisaki kara akusesu | We have access to the world at our fingertips, |
| ソーシャル・炎上 まとめて皆、大爆発 | soosharu enjou matomete mina, daibakuhatsu | So we start a shitstorm for someone all together on social media. |
