MUCC - Monster

Band: ムック (69 / MUCC)
Album: 鵬翼 (Houyoku / Phoenix Wings)
Song: モンスター (Monster)

作詞： 逹瑯　作曲： YUKKE、ミヤ
英訳： VKE

残酷な醜姿　俺達は罪と咎の片影　人類
英姿颯爽　世界を食い潰す　土足の王様　エゴイスト

ストイックに生きて　論理的　外面のいい大先生
私利私欲の虜さ　俺達は尊い霊長　人類

猿真似の革命家　権利などと叫ぶ

あぁ　何も変わらねぇ　未来も過去も　月が満ち欠ける様に
あぁ　誰もが罪人　産声を上げたその瞬間から　始まる

「ヒト」と称するニート　君臨する化ケ物

あぁ　何も変わらねぇ　未来も過去も　今、この瞬間も
あぁ　誰もが咎人　乳飲み子でさえ罪を妊んでる

俺達は何の為生まれ生きているのか？
無意味に増え過ぎた害虫のように


Lyrics: Tatsurou Composition: Yukke, Miya
Translation: VKE

Cruel, ugly forms
We have just a speck of sin and crime
Mankind
Cutting a fine figure
We devour the world
A muddy-footed king
An egotist

Living stoically
Logically
Externally appearing a great teacher
Prisoner to acting in our own self-interest
We are precious, miraculous leaders
Mankind

A monkey-see-monkey-do revolutionary
Screaming out about rights and such

Ah, nothing changes
In the future, in the past, just as the moon waxes and wanes
Ah, everyone's a sinner
From the moment a baby starts crying, it begins

The N.E.E.T.* called "man" is the ruling monster

Ah, nothing changes
In the future, in the past, now, even at this very moment
Ah, everyone's a criminal
Even a suckling infant is filled with sin

For what purpose are we born and living?
Multiplying meaninglessly just like locusts*


*N.E.E.T. - Not in education, employment, or training. British term.
*害虫 is literally harmful insects, but in English locust would be the more appropriate term.
