[English]

What's right and what's stupid

I'll show you exactly what they are

...

Teacher's pet since I was little

Suddenly realized I'm grown up now

Can't possibly have

A razor-sharp mind like that

But I'm bored, something's missing

This frustration's someone else's fault

Just drifting aimlessly through chaotic days

Yeah, figures

Of course I know the latest trends

Check economic shifts during my commute

Joined the workforce with pure intentions

Just standard rules for working adults

Hah? Shut up shut up shut up!

I'm healthier than you think

You're utterly mediocre

Might be beyond your understanding

Ah, how fitting

That bland, forgettable melody

Shut up shut up shut up!

Our brains work differently, no issue here

...

Though honestly I'm model citizen

Physical violence? No thank you

So I'll press this verbal gun

Against your head and pull the trigger

Seriously dangerous? Can't stop now

Complaints overflowing, fallen so low

My mind turns sadistic

So damn tedious

Fill empty glasses the moment they're dry

Take food off the skewers so it's easy to grab

Always first to pay or order

Unspoken rules are basic manners

Hah? Shut up shut up shut up!

Your stinkin' mouth, shut it I'm at my limit

I'm absolutely the voice of this generation, damn it!

Sick of seeing it already

Second-rate copies, paraphrased parodies

Shut up shut up shut up!

Put a big fat X on that plump face of yours

...

Shut up shut up shut up!

Shut up shut up shut up!

I'm what they call a genius

Shut up shut up shut up!

I'm healthier than you think

You're utterly mediocre

Might be beyond your understanding

Ah, so damn dull

How many times must I hear that same old spiel?

Shut up shut up shut up!

Sure I'm pretty messed up too but

Whatever, doesn't matter, no issue here

...

[Japanese]

正しさとは 愚かさとは

それが何か見せつけてやる

ちっちゃな頃から優等生

気づいたら大人になっていた

ナイフの様な思考回路

持ち合わせる訳もなく

でも遊び足りない 何か足りない

困っちまうこれは誰かのせい

あてもなくただ混乱するエイデイ

それもそっか

最新の流行は当然の把握

経済の動向も通勤時チェック

純情な精神で入社しワーク

社会人じゃ当然のルールです

はぁ？うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

あなたが思うより健康です

一切合切凡庸な

あなたじゃ分からないかもね

嗚呼よく似合う

その可もなく不可もないメロディー

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

頭の出来が違うので問題はナシ

つっても私模範人間

殴ったりするのはノーセンキュー

だったら言葉の銃口を

その頭に突きつけて撃てば

マジヤバない？止まれやしない

不平不満垂れて成れの果て

サディスティックに変貌する精神

クソだりぃな

酒が空いたグラスあれば直ぐに注ぎなさい

皆がつまみ易いように串外しなさい

会計や注文は先陣を切る

不文律最低限のマナーです

はぁ？うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

くせぇ口塞げや限界です

絶対絶対現代の代弁者は私やろがい

もう見飽きたわ

二番煎じ言い換えのパロディ

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

丸々と肉付いたその顔面にバツ

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

私が俗に言う天才です

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

あなたが思うより健康です

一切合切凡庸な

あなたじゃ分からないかもね

嗚呼つまらねぇ

何回聞かせるんだそのメモリー

うっせぇうっせぇうっせぇわ

アタシも大概だけど

どうだっていいぜ問題はナシ
