Lyrics : Chanmina/Fukase

Composition : Nakajin/Saori

There's always someone in every era

A kid who says things like "Adults are always so contradictory" or "They do nothing but lie"

What about you right now? Were children really that innocent?

Do you think time is what makes you grow? Hey Kid

The "rotten adults" you talk about were once just like you

Liars have been liars since they were brats, right Kid?

Biting at something bigger than yourself, then retreating to your safe zone

Hissing while being petted, hey Cat

...

We also once longed to become

Wonderful people someday, just like you

...

That's just how time works

It makes things easier for us

Numbing us little by little

Turning us into the "perfect" adults

...

That's just how time works

It teaches us how to give up

And eventually, it will turn

You into wonderful people too

...

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

...

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

...

Am I? Am I falling down?

Holding a sweet fancy lollipop, tapping my shoulder

Gently saying, "Hey, come over here"

You, you, you asked me first

"If you come this way, you'll see the stars"

I followed you, lured in by your top-tier smile

...

But here we are, so lonely

In a hell worse than any other

You, who invited me, are a devil

So beautiful it's frustrating

...

I can't sleep peacefully

Visiting a psychiatrist

The end of the world

Mad hatter, is that what you wanted?

...

We also once longed to become

Wonderful people someday, just like you

...

That's just how time works

It makes things easier for us

Numbing us little by little

Does it really turn us into the "perfect" adults?

...

That's just how time works

It teaches us how to give up

Will it eventually turn

You into wonderful people too?

...

“Just keep putting on a nice face”

...

That's just how time works

It makes things easier for us

Numbing us little by little

Turning us into the "perfect" adults

...

That's just how time works

It teaches us how to give up

And eventually, it will turn

You into wonderful people too

...

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

...

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

いつの時代もいるんだ

「大人はいつも矛盾ばっかり」とか「嘘ばっかり」って言うKid

今の君はどうなんだい　そんなに子供は純粋だったかい?

時間が成長させるとでも? Hey Kid

君の言う腐った大人もかつては今の君みたい

嘘つきはガキの頃から嘘つき　なぁKid

大きなモノに噛み付いて　安全圏に逃げ込んで

撫でられながら威嚇する　Hey Cat

僕達もかつては、いつか素晴らしい人に

憧れていた　君と同じさ

いつだって時間はそう

僕達を楽にさせて

少しずつ麻痺させて

最高な大人にしてくれる

いつだって時間はそう

諦めを教えてくれる

君達をいずれ

素晴らしい人にしてくれる

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

Am I? Am I falling down?

甘いfancyローリーポップ持って肩叩いて

優しく『ねぇこっちおいで』って

You, you, you asked me first

『こっち来たら見えるよstar』

最高級の君のsmileで誘われてついて来たのに

これ以上ない地獄に

居る僕等はlonely

誘った君はデビル

悔しいくらい美しい

安眠出来ない

精神科医通い

世界の終わり

Mad hatter, is that what you wanted?

僕達もかつては、いつか素晴らしい人に

憧れていた　君と同じさ

いつだって時間はそう

僕達を楽にさせて

少しずつ麻痺させて

最高な大人にしてくれる?

いつだって時間はそう

諦めを教えてくれる

君達をいずれ

素晴らしい人にしてくれる?

“nice face を put していなさい”

いつだって時間はそう

僕達を楽にさせて

少しずつ麻痺させて

最高な大人にしてくれる

いつだって時間はそう

諦めを教えてくれる

君達をいずれ

素晴らしい人にしてくれる

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”

Hey Kid

I’m from your future

“Nice people make the world boring”
