ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Goodbye Lost Generation (English Translation) lyrics

"Have a dream for your future," such an irresponsible line
That dream swelled, then burst in 1986

"We have nothing"
That is to say, "We are the Lost Generation"
Please don't forget
We are still here, alive and breathing

Investigators said, "This recession should bottom out"
We surely didn’t know where we would be in 2010

We have nothing
If that is so, then so it is
Don't hang your head, let's break out of this prison

You say, "The world is dark, isn’t it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn't it?"
These times that you complain about, let's end it with us

A line like, "Your dreams come true" sounds like a hollow voice
Even though I want to feel hope in living in the present

It isn't a dream, but reality
Pinch your cheek
And open your eyes, let's get out of this prison
You say, "The world is dark, isn't it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn’t it?"
These times that you complain about, let’s end it with us

Unknowingly shut into a prison by a word in our mind
It seems we are falling deeper into our self-consciousness and only loving ourselves
Don't pretend to be God, searching for yourself in the deep, dark marsh
Open your window, every road leads to everywhere

I have nothing
Ah... and there is nothing
That’s right, it is reality
Someday, even if everything disappears
I want to see you still

You say, "The world is dark, isn't it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn't it?"
These times that you complain about, let’s end it today

Are you satisfied?
If you didn't get enough
Tell me
