21st Century Tokyo Blues
It’s already a new century, where did the Armageddon go for the unchanging archipelago of Japan?
We can wait forever, it’s a reality that will never change, it’s a never ending state of war
IZ THERE NO HAPPY END? HUH…
If you turn on the TV, all you see day to night are people hanging themselves or children killing their parents
What the fuck are we doing? Is it the end of the world?
Is someone else’s pain and misfortune so entertaining?
NEWAY WHY U SO CRUEL LIKE DAT?

This world is really filled with idiots, and the good guys just get MURDERx2
What a bunch of bad MOTHER FXXKERS we’ve become. Concepts like peace are still far, still ways to go
I’m sick of life in this kind of world. Not only children, adults too are losing
While the number of people who just free dive in the arms of death is ever increasing What I type to life now is a THANK U

“Future, Hopes, Dreams” how these words have lost their meaning
The world is filled with nothing but nameless, dirty package. We’re only willing to give it all if it’s in the virtual reality
LETS LUV YA FROM THE SURFACE

You don’t give a damn if your neighbor is sent to prison or dies, it doesn’t concern you. How sick is that? Ah..

In 1999 someone throws in a prediction and EVERYBODY WAS LIKE in a panic. And then nothing happens, everybody was stunned.
Where where you that night and what were you dreaming of? or What were you expecting?
Did you hope the world would end just like they’ve predicted?
BUT U STILL WANNA LIVE DON’T YOU?

What a disappointing end of century, this ’99. What a dreamless, hopeless millennium
Somewhere in the world, every day an act of terrorism, in the neighboring countries, demonstrations against Japan?
Well, it’s ok, just think how the fact that you’re alive and breathing right here is enough to be happy
You don’t know where something bad will happen. In this uncertain era, you need to wake up and take action.

On a dull guitar, with a hoarse melody, I’m singing this dry message to you
So that you won’t let this crazy world corrupt you

Please be yourself honey

A blues of the 21st century where everyone lives like they’re already dead.
