[English]

Like magic

Rumors spread so easily

In the face of prejudice

Neither purity nor justice really matter

It can't be helped, there's nothing we can do

That's what adults say, acting selfishly

Feel free

It's okay if you dislike it

Let me show

A huge lie that even gods would fall for

Oh

No one would suspect it's all just a perfect facade

Lie and lie, lie and lie

And with just a little love

Let me show

Beyond your greed

STOP!

Spreading false displays of a fake love

You guys are running wild

Using and dazzling

Basking in billions of skyscraper showers

Suspicious, strange

I can't feel anything else

To the voices of the times

There's no reason to blame me

Let me show

A huge lie that even gods would fall for

Oh

Let you show your beauty

The wild fragments inside you

Wake up quickly to the rumors

Realize you've been deceived

No matter how many times you're betrayed

Wake up and smile

One more time

Let me show

A huge lie that even gods would fall for

Oh

No one would suspect it's all just a perfect facade

Lie and lie, lie and lie

And with just a little love

Let me show

Beyond your greed

[Japanese]

まるで魔法のように

簡単に 広まってく噂話

偏見を前に

ピュアも正義もあったもんじゃない

仕方ない　どうしようもない

そう言ってわがまま放題大人たち

どうぞご自由に

嫌ってくれて別にかまわない

Let me show

神様もハマるほどの大嘘を

Oh

誰もハリボテと知るよしもない　完璧な

lie and lie lie and lie

そして少しの愛で

let me show

欲張りの その向こうを

STOP !

偽のウォーアイニー まき散らして

暴走してるあなたたち

使って華麗に

浴びるわ９桁のビルシャワー

怪しい　おかしい

それ以外なにも感じられない私

時代の声に

責め立てられる筋合いはない

Let me show

神様もハマるほどの大嘘を

Oh

let you show そのbeautiful

その奥の野生のかけら

早くデマカセに気づいて

騙してたわけに気づいて

誰に何度裏切られても

目を覚まして 笑って

one more time

Let me show

神様もハマるほどの大嘘を

Oh

誰もハリボテと知るよしもない　完璧な

lie and lie lie and lie

そして少しの愛で

let me show

欲張りの その向こうを
