400

400！字詰めに煮詰めて己を見つめて言葉を沈めて
400！世の中の嘘800真っ二つに切る言葉
400！字詰めに煮詰めて己を見つめて言葉を沈めて
400！潰れるマスコミ広がる口コミビートを打ち込み

鉛の筆 日溜まりの樹の下で溜まりに溜まった気持ちを吐く
沢山の感情を掻き分けて先駆けて辿り着く本音
とんでもなくデカい問題の気配に囲まれて暮らす社会
途方もなく虚しく感じさせる生き甲斐の掴めない実体
では一体働くこととは何かと一から考え直せば
頭と体を奉仕する意義、生活を維持する実感
道具と時間と環境揃えば何でもできるかといえばそれは違う！
何もかも駄目、嫌な仕事をする羽目全ては飯を食うためだけ
誰も彼もお金が悩みの種のお陰貯めても盗られるだけ
だから人間辞めって馬鹿な真似そう簡単に死ねない血と肉と骨
中に宿る心、子供の頃の夢をここで呼び起こすところ

若い人間しかできないことできない仕組みで諂い溺愛する権力
なんて結局積極的な個性も殺す埋もれる実力
新しい価値掲げる若手を旗手に結束固めて
逆らう力を蓄え仲間と輩を片手でまとめて
もう一方で握る舞台仕切る隠れてる黒幕の尻尾
今日日本動かす呑気な大人も明日は人事じゃないぞ
若い人間にも一言、親離れをするまでまだ半人前
一人前の飯平らげるだけ下の手本になること自覚しろ
二人前の稼ぎ出来るまでは一人の女も守れないから
三人前の責任を背負えば家族の酋長一人で守る宝
だから独り身のうち道を極めろ、選択する覚悟しろ
衣食住だけ確保しろ、炊事洗濯やってる奴手を挙げろ！

最新の機械の使い方も理解できない大人が牛耳る世界
最近の若い世代の扱い方知らない本当なら怖い
なのに臭いものに蓋、話すだけ無駄、知ったか流行りの歌
ちょっと待ったそれで終わりか？だからお互い分かち合うのは
同じ文化の違う世代よりも違う文化の同じ世代、そういう時代
何が大事か誰がマジか見切りつける締め切りも間近
これから始まる話に恥も外聞も大義名分もなければ
この国の端と端から集まる子達が命を賭けては
一人変われば周りの百人変える力持つこと忘れんな
長いものはぶった切る出る杭は打ち返す芸術で訴える！

長いものはぶった切る出る杭は打ち返す芸術で訴える！

400

400! I boil words down to cram them in, contemplating myself and submerging words
400! 800 lies, sliced in two, weapons of words
400! I boil words down to cram them in, contemplating myself and submerging words
400! The media crumbles, word of mouth spreads, and beats resonate

A leaden pen, spitting out pent-up emotions under a tree bathed in sunlight
Sifting through a jumble of emotions, reaching for the truth
Surrounded by the looming threat of overwhelming problems, existing in a society
That makes me feel utterly empty, grasping at a meaningless purpose
What does it mean to work? Let's reconsider from scratch
The meaning of serving with mind and body, the reality of sustenance
Having the right tools, time, and space doesn't guarantee success, not at all!
Everything's awful, doing a job I hate, just to put food on the table
Money is everyone's problem, no matter what, and it's stolen as soon as it's saved
So let's quit being human and do something stupid, but we can't just die, we're flesh and blood
The heart within us, the dreams of our childhood, recall them here and now

Authority smiles on the young while suppressing individuality, a system that can't be changed
Ultimately killing ambition and burying talent
United under a banner that represents new values, gathering allies
Accumulating power to resist, uniting with allies and putting others in their place
With one hand on the stage and the other on the strings of the puppet masters
The adults who run Japan today may not care, but tomorrow it'll be their turn
A word to the young: until you're independent, you're only half a person
You can't call yourself an adult until you're responsible for your own meals
You can't protect a woman until you can earn twice as much as you need
And you can't be the head of a family until you can shoulder three times the responsibility
So while you're single, master your craft, choose your path with resolve
Secure food, clothing, and shelter, and raise your hand if you're cooking and cleaning!

A world run by adults who can't even understand how to use the latest technology
Who don't know how to relate to the younger generation, who are truly frightening
So they bury their heads in the sand, wasting time on meaningless conversations and trendy songs
Wait a minute, is that all? So we can't share anything because...
Generations with different cultures are more similar than different generations with the same culture. That's the way it is nowadays
Who's important, who's genuine? The deadline's approaching
The story that begins now has no shame, no scandal, no moral high ground
Children from every corner of the country come together, risking their lives...
Remember, if one person changes, they can change a hundred people around them
Cut down the tall, hammer in the protruding nails, and make art our weapon!

Cut down the tall, hammer in the protruding nails, and make art our weapon!
