[English]

Got nothing, got nothing

We’ve got absolutely nothing

It’s all over, it’s all over

If you laugh, I’ll kill you

Got nothing, got nothing

Since we’ve got nothing at all

Beating off, beating off

Crying while I’m beating off

3! 3! 01!

3! 3! 01!

3! 3! 01!

01! 01!

Gather round, forest of losers

Gathering our strength just to be a nuisance

I’ll say it in advance: sorry

The finger I licked with a "tehepero" stinks

Thank you, God! For making me lonely!

Got nothing, got nothing

We’ve got absolutely nothing

It’s all over, it’s all over

Keep laughing, side characters

Got nothing, got nothing

Even though we’ve got nothing

Inside my chest, inside my chest

You are laughing

Ah

Got nothing, got nothing

Even though we’ve got nothing

We’re dreaming, we’re dreaming

If you laugh, I’ll kill you

Got nothing, got nothing

Since we’ve got nothing at all

Beating off, beating off

Thinking of you again today

Insane, it’s insane

We’re absolutely insane

3! 3! 01!

3! 3! 01!

Because it’ll surely come true someday

Hang in there, hang in there

Hang in there, us

When it ends, when it ends

We’ll just turn to ash

Whatever I want, that’s the only thing I need

Got nothing

3! 4! 01!

3! 4! 01!

3! 4! 01!

01! 01!
