[English]

Geeky and cheap, playing cool and chic games

Back then, I was reminiscing about those times

Sweetness costs real money, diving into savage, deep play

Back then, I was reminiscing about those days

Money is just paper, value is like waves

Draining the virtual enemy, that’s the trick! It’s traditional arts

Life's a duel, fusion summon, overkill

Tough, invincible, the three-headed Cerberus

The boss monkey howling at the mountain

Mountain dogs holding on even when hammered

Scratching wounds with muddy sauces—hot dog!

Dog and monkey, like the Ouroboros looping

Saying “I’ve escaped!”—impossible

Can’t just run away now, that’s cowardly

If climbing like a snakes-and-ladders game

Bet everything, huh? Yeah

King of the bitches

Still devouring, staying rich

King of the bitches

It's bound to make a ruckus

King of the bitches

Because I can brush off the grit in one go—extreme! Truly supreme!

King of the bitches

Riding it out, repeats my favorites

Sit, stay, shake

Dogs incited by their own prompting

Dig here, woof woof, plenty of prey

By the way, don’t forget—called mongrel

Polished on a stage derived from a sewer river

Breaking the trophy, symbol of boredom

Is it normal overseas? What about settling scores?

Hiding in the front left, rolling over! Wag your tail

We don’t kill, you know

If we appear in your dreams, it’s creepy

Beautifully defiled and stained

More than anything, fiercely wild—Hey！Guitar!

...

Geeky and cheap, playing cool and chic games

Back then, I was reminiscing about those times

Sweetness costs real money, diving into savage, deep play

Holding a thick winning streak, going straight

Refill, refill, woof woof!

King bitch!

...

(Ah-ah-ah)

King of the bitches

Still devouring, staying rich

King of the bitches

It’s bound to make a ruckus

King of the bitches

Because I can brush off the grit in one go—extreme! Truly supreme!

King of the bitches

Riding it out, repeats my favorites

...

ギークでチープや クールでシックな遊びをしてた

この頃、あの頃を思い出してた

スゥイートは実費 サヴェジでディープな遊びをしては

この頃、あの頃を思い出してた

お金はかみ 価値は波

仮想敵で血抜きそれが！結果伝統芸能っす

人生はデュエル 融合召喚 overkill

強靭・無敵・最強の三つ首ケルベロス

お山のボス猿喉笛喰らいつき

タコ殴られても離さぬ山犬

泥ソース塗り合う傷口 hot dog!

犬猿69さながらウロボロス

「一抜けた！」だなんて無理

ほらここで逃げるとかしゃばいから

双六みたいに上がるなら

全部を張りや？あぁ

ここ掘れワンワン 獲物がじゃんじゃん

ところで忘れん 雑種呼ばわり

ドブ川由来ステージで磨き

暇の象徴トロフィーはかち割り

海外じゃ当たり前？どうすんの落とし前

左前着て伏せ！しっぽ丸めなや

ウチら殺しとかしない

ほら夢に出られたらキモいから

きれいに穢れた美しさ

なにより獰猛な やぁ！Guitar!
