Lyrics & Translation

[English] No thank you, alright?
Carefree, what's wrong with you?
'Inappropriate'—stay humble when pointed out.
Justice at will, Mr. X is setting fires.
'Truth or falsehood unknown'—that's crazy.
The night goes on and on.
We're drinking resentment, totally drunk.
Eyes? Teeth? It's easy—breathe in, breathe out, judgment.
Finally tonight, let's have an informal party.
Everyone's nonsense, truly nonsensical.
Don’t show off, shut up, shut up.
This world is nonsense, truly regretful.
Poor you, pitiful, pitiful, just can’t be helped.
Come on, do your best, see you around.
Say hello to Enma for me.
Be quiet, alright?
Selling megaphones.
Even if the name's unclear, thanks for coming.
Curtain call at night.
Exactly as declared—Dirty Party Night.
Heads on the right and left—checkmate falls from nowhere.
Finally tonight, let's go ahead with our casual party.
Everyone's nonsense, truly nonsensical.
Don’t act all tough, shut up, shut up.
This world is nonsense, truly regrettable.
Poor you, pitiful, pitiful. Can’t you see?
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Everyone's nonsense, truly nonsensical.
Don’t act tough, shut up, shut up.
This world is nonsense, from the start it's nonsense.
Don’t act tough, shut up, shut up.
It's almost time, truly regretful.
Are you satisfied? Step back, step back, get lost.
Come on, do your best, see you.
You can go ahead and leave.
Might as well rest in peace.
Well then, see you in the next life. See you again!
