Mr.Downer

We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it….

      なあ　ひとつ聞いていいかい
 Naa, hitotsu kiite ii kai
      Hey, can I ask you something?
      それはなんという名の罪状
 Sore wa nan to iu na no zaijō
      What is your crime?
      「存在し生きてること自体」を罪に問おうというならば僕ら
 Sonzai shi ikiteru koto jitai wo tsumi ni toou to iu naraba bokura
      If it’s merely existing, merely living life, then
      一体何を掲げここで行きて行けばいいの　教えてよ
 Ittai nani o kakage koko de ikite ikeba ii no, oshiete yo
      Tell me, under just whose banner should we live?
      怖がっては欺きあって
 Kowagatte wa azamukiatte
      I fear mutual deception
      疑っては憎み合ってる
 Utagatte wa nikumiatteru
      I suspect mutual hatred

      Hey, mister, I’m going insane
      Hey, please don’t leave me alone
      Hey, mister, I don’t belong here
      Help me; I can’t see any more

Take my hand

How is the waking, Mr. Downer?

      なあ　それでも信じてるの？
 Naa, soredemo shinjiteru no?
      Hey, is that what you still believe?
      人は身勝手で臆病だ

      That people are selfish and cowardly?
      自分のためにその手を伸ばして
 Jibun no tame ni sono te o nobashite
      That for themselves, they reach out their hands
      貪る　その欲が尽き果てるまで
 Musaboru, sono yoku ga tsukihateru made
      To devour until their hunger is exhausted?
      一体君はそんな世界のどこに
 Ittai kimi wa sonna sekai no doko ni
      Just where in that world
      生きる意味を見つける？
 Ikiru imi o mitsukeru?
      Do you see a point in living?
      夢や理想は描くほどにこの世界は息苦しい
 Yume ya risō wa egaku hodo ni kono sekai wa ikigurushii
      Anyone with dreams or ideals would find this world suffocating

      Hey, mister, I’m going insane
      Hey, please don’t leave me alone
      Hey, mister, I don’t belong here
      Help me; I can’t see any more

Take my hand

How is the waking, Mr. Downer?
