桑田佳祐 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
絡み合う人間同士の思惑
割に合わぬ日々の苦労
We're really crying
言うことがブレまくりの党首
政府与党は所得を搾取
頼みの年金制度も崩壊
やるせない世の中を
生きるは hard & tough だろう!?
寄辺なきこの時代を
闘い抜くは君と僕
頑張れ! 現代人
Go for the next change
明日への渡来人
ご機嫌よろしゅう!
まだ見ぬ天国
悩み多き身分
泣きそうな気分
So I say "I love you"
毒入りの食品を疑う
年老いた親を賄う
国民が国家の負債を担う
We're really crying
デフレ 金融破綻だ 衝撃!
やれ環境破壊だ 絶句!
テロ 災害 事故に病苦!
We're nearly dying
この地球の未来には
今さら love & peace は無い
でも声を密め夢見て
みんな日の出を待っている!
信じて奇跡
Go for the next stage
人生楽しく
君に幸あれ
身体は痛み
精神は破れ
これも課税対象!?
And I say "I need you"
頑張れ! 現代人
Go for the next change
明日への渡来人
ご機嫌よろしゅう!
まだ見ぬ天国
悩み多き身分
ヤッちゃいな気分
So I say "I love you"
現代人諸君(イマジン オール ザ ピープル)!
Living for today
現代人諸君(イマジン オール ザ ピープル)!
Living for today
