[English]

作词 : ケンモチヒデフミ

Come on, show off a little.

ちょけろ ちょけろ

さぁ図に乗って

Seriously, cut it out already.

I just can't stop, you know?

There's nothing I can do about it.

I'll think of an excuse later, alright?

This whole "mainstream" thing is just lame every time.

Just a bunch of people lost in their own heads wandering around.

While everyone's scrambling, I've been keeping my feet on the ground.

こちとら地に足つけてきたぜ

Yeah, yeah.

What's wrong? Why does everyone look so down?

I welcome empty promises.

Diggin' dong ding

It doesn't feel real at all.

Diggin' dong ding

Want to feel better quickly?

Anytime is fine.

Just go to sleep.

Nothing to do with you.

Come on, show off a little.

Come on, show off a little.

Seriously, cut it out already.

I just can't stop, you know?

Haze, haze, oooooh.

I'll take responsibility, even until the grave.

Just let me do things my own way.

I'm just doing things at my own pace.

A trouble maker, that's me.

Read the instruction manual.

Read it from cover to cover.

Even when I'm scared, I somehow

End up grinning. It's weird, isn't it?

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.

I welcome empty promises.

Diggin' dong ding

It doesn't feel real at all.

Diggin' dong ding

Want to feel better quickly?

Anytime is fine.

Just go to sleep.

Nothing to do with you.

Push that reset button.

Erase your values.

If you can always go back to the way things were anyway,

Just watching and waiting is

Just boring, you know?

So I'm ready.

Full throttle, going all out.

No intention of stopping, foot on the gas.

Hey, are you kidding me?

Hey, are you kidding me?

Alright, hold on, stop right here.

Return to the start.

This is gonna be bad, for sure.

We're talking about something different now.

Want to feel better quickly?

Anytime is fine.

Just go to sleep.

Nothing to do with you.

Push that reset button.

Erase your values.

Truth is, I can never

Go back to the way things were.

Maybe it's easier to just let myself get carried away.

Maybe that's the best way to feel good.

おねんねさせたれ

Nothing to do with you

押せよ そのリセットボタン

消せよ お前のその価値観

どうせ何度でも元に戻せるなら

指くわえてみてるだけじゃ

つまらないやいや

So I'm ready

思いっきり 前ノリ気味

止まる気ないアクセルベタ踏み

ねぇ are you kidding?

ねぇ are you kidding?

はいちょまって ここでストップ

Return to the start

おねんねさしたれ

Nothing to do with you

戻ってこれないから

調子に乗せてやらせてみるのが

楽でいいのかもしれないな
