From their "bio:" As the world is coming to an end, Professor Jimi Hendrix, a genius scientist from Electric Ladyland finds the result of his mad research: the ultimate life form, MAN WITH A MISSION (MWAM).
Are they men or wolves? Beyond their funny appearance, these beings are gifted with superhuman brains and bodies. From this moment on, MWAM is behind all the crimes of this world, which made their creator freeze them in ice. Set free by global warming, they’re back, traveling the world looking for new missions. For good or evil, nobody knows yet.

Man with a Mission Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
止まった日々を投げ出したんだ
そうもう一回 and find your growing way
I know the days and music brimming out the sound of lifetime
1997 standing there and getting so high
Wow wow wow we're shouting Wow wow wow we're laughing
湯気が立つほど暴れ狂うそのビート
切り裂くジャックナイフのようなリズム
Wow wow wow Hi-Standard rocking on the stage to Stay Gold
Wow wow wowwow I never lost myself more than those days
Nothing nothing nothing nothing's changing
Husking Bee was there for me, I'm walking
Life Life Life Life is going
Yeah the sound is calling me
Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
もう一回失えばいいんだよ
Reraise that fist and free your pain away
Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
鳴り出したリフに駆け出したんだ
そうもう一回 to find your growing way Yeah
Crash your brain, just crush your brain!!
Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
そう一回眼を閉じればいいんだよ
Reraise your fist just like the glowing days
Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to find the one thing you just want to be
Nothing nothing nothing nothing's changing
Rock of Truth goes on with Super Stupid
Time Time Time Time is moving
Life Life Life Life is going
