俺には全然関係ねェ
仕事だなんて思っちゃいねェ
お前らと一緒に遊びたいだけさ
熱くなる事も知らねェ
奴の気げんをとって
右手をあげて下さいなんて
言いたくねェぜ
気取った奴ら
そんな奴らは どこかに消えな
邪魔になるだけ
お前ら すかした顔してても
ちょっとはどこかが熱いはずさ
お前らみたいなカスでも出来る
レースにはまらず走る事
大した事も出来ねェくせに
わかった顔で
腰をおろすのはまだまだ先でも
間にあうはずさ
理屈じゃねェさ その時間だけが
おもしろかったら
それでいいだろつまんねェ
事は忘れちまいな

The song "Mass Age" by BOøWY is a rebellious anthem that speaks to the disillusionment and disaffection of youth culture. It is a call to reject the pressures of conformity, particularly in the workplace, and instead prioritize living in the moment and pursuing one's passions. The opening lines, "Whether you want to get on or not / It has nothing to do with me / Don't think of it as work / I just want to play with you," establish this attitude of nonchalance towards the expectations of the older generation.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses a disdain for those who take themselves too seriously and try too hard to fit in: "With a pretentious attitude / Those kinds of people disappear somewhere / They just get in the way." The chorus ("Woo woo woo") is a repeated chant that embodies this rejection of conformity, and serves as an expression of pure energy and passion that can't be contained by societal norms.
Overall, "Mass Age" is a song that taps into the frustrations and anxieties of young people who feel trapped by the expectations of their elders. It is a call to embrace individualism, and to seek out experiences and relationships that bring joy rather than simply fulfilling societal roles.
