Kyou ha doyoubi no
Gogo san-ji sugi
Shigoto mo
Syukudai mo
Nani mo nai
Ima sugu shinakya ikenai
Daiji na koto
Toriaezu
Nani mo nai

Telebi wo tsukeru keiba to eiga to
Itsumo no gogo no 'shoping'
Telebi wo keshite toriaezu ima
Nani wo shitai ka kangaeru

'pizza' ga tabetai

Itsumo doyoubi no yoru ha dokoka
Asobi ni iku kedo
Mou akita
Ima sugu aitai hito mo
Ikitai tokoro
Kitai fuku mo
Nani mo nai

Denwa wo kakeru onna-tomodachi
Ki no au baka na otomodachi
Hito ban-jyuu 'sofa' no ue
Shaberi tsudukete omoi dasu

'pizza' no nokori

Kyou wa nichiyoubi
Asa no jyuuji
Shigoto mo
Shukudai mo
Nani mo nai
Imasugu shinakya ikenai
Daiji na koto
Itsudatte
Nani mo nai

Televi wo tsukeru 'anime' to 'news' to
Itsumo no baka na 'shoping'
Televi wo keshite kyou wa ichinichi
Nani wo shiyou to kangaeru

Now it's saturday
After 3:00 p.m.
I have no labor
No homework or so
I have nothing
I have to do now
Precious things, too
Now
Nothing

Turn on the tv, horse race, movie
And that old afternoon shopping channel
Turn off the tv, thinking
What do i really want to do right now?

I wanna eat pizza

Always i go out
On saturday night but
I'm sick of it
I have noone i want to see
Nowhere i want to go
And nothing i want to wear
Nothing

My girlfriend who calls up
My special silly friend
Talking all night on the sofa
And remember there is

Leftover pizza

Now it's sunday
10:00 a.m.
I have no work
No homework
Nothing
Nothing i have to do
No special thing
Always
I have nothing

Turn on the tv, animation, news
And that old stupid shopping channel
Turn off the tv, i wonder
What i'll do today?

Talking like a kid
Walking like a kid
Biting your nails like a kid
Being selfish like a kid

Favorite food is like a kid
Eating like a kid
Having likes and dislikes like a kid
Becoming whimsical like a kid

With a sulky face
You're so quiet
Then talking away
It seems endless
Being called something
Like holden caulfield
You're the type who'd be happy
Hearing that

Loving tv like a kid
Loving games like a kid
Telling lies like a kid
Suddenly crying like a kid

That's fine as it is
Somehow everyday
Making a living
Doing what you like
Appearing on tv
Appearing in magazines
Releasing records
Becoming famous
If you can make living on playing
That's fine as it is
If you make it to the airplane,
That's fine as it is
That's fine as it is

Putting on kids clothes
Needing attention like a kid
Wasting money like a kid
Loving to take things apart like a kid

Always being pampered
By someone
Always loving to
Play loud with someone
Pushing the accelerator
And speeding up
Making a mess
Of your hotel room

That's fine as it is,
Somehow everyday
You make a living
Walking a tightrope
Appearing on tv,
Appearing in magazines
Becoming rich
Being in scandals
If you can make a living by playing,
That's fine as it is
If you show up to the party,
That's fine as it is
If you're paying taxes,
That's fine as is
If you make it to the airplane,
That's fine as is
That's fine as is

To our children's
Children's
Children
When you grow up
You'll see the world
A little different

To our children's
Children's
Children
When tommorow comes
Sad things will
Disappear

Alone
At midnight
I can hear the faint sound
Of a cassette tape

To our children's
Children's
Children
When you become adult
The world will seem
Smaller

Alone
At midnight
I can hear the faint sound
Of a cassette tape

At midnight
Someone calls me
An old friend
Whose name i've forgotten

To our children's
Children's
Children
When you become adult
The world will seem
A better place

To our children's
Children's
Children
When tomorrow comes
You'll forget
Almost everything
