Humanity

"Humanity"

やつを落とし入れたあの日
Yatsu o otoshi ireta ano hi
The day I pushed that guy in,
オレは一人部屋で笑う
Ore wa hitori heya de warau
I laughed alone in my room.
そして次の月曜日には
Soshite tsugi no getsuyoubi ni wa
Then, the next monday,
善人の仮面をかぶる
zennin no kamen o kaburu
I wore the mask of a 'good guy'.

そして何不自由なく
Soshite nani fujiyuu naku
And, I was raised
犬のように育った
Inu no you ni sodatta
With no inconvenience - like a dog.
パパに買ってもらった車
Papa ni katte moratta kuruma
The car my dad bought for me;
ママに買ってもらった堕落
Mama ni katte moratta daraku
The corruption my mom bought for me.

調子よく 渡らなくちゃ
Choushi yoku, wataranakucha
Gotta cross over just right.
人の手を借り 過ごしていく
Hito no te o kari, sugoshite iku
Helped by my fellow man, I pass on by.

あの娘にうまい事言い
Ano ko ni umai koto ii
Say something nice to that girl.
この娘にも話合わせる
Kono ko ni mo hanashi awaseru
Chat with this girl too.
出せるだけダサセタラ
Daseru dake dasasetara
I never knew what it was like
[Humanity]
オレの知ったこっちゃない
Ore no shitta kocchanai
To let it all out.

Choushi yoku, wataranakucha
Gotta cross over just right.
人の手を借り 過ごしていく
Hito no te o kariri, sugoshite iku
Helped by my fellow man, I pass on by.

パパに買ってもらった車
Papa ni katte moratta kuruma
The car my dad bought for me;
ママに買ってもらった堕落
Mama ni katte moratta daraku
The corruption my mom bought for me.

あの娘にもらった甘え
Ano ko ni moratta amae
The kindness that girl gave to me
オレが君にあげる
Ore ga kimi ni ageru
I give it all to you.
