Romanized lyrics
Seiron-san wa boku ni itta
"Mawari wa kou" "Awase na yo"
Kuraben na, seken ippa ron to iu
Monosashi de, hakare ya shinai daro
"Kimi ni wa dekiru" tte kuchi dake desu
Kana shika atama ni wa nai no desu
Ima ja kitto anata no shouhin de
Ningyou ja nai no
"Shiranu ga hotoke" datte? Amaku mirarecha komaru na
Sou yatte, damashi damasareta yue ni, kuroku somatte ku
Waraenai, waraenai wa shinda me no otona bakari
Ima omou "wagamama" nante ikikata mo
Warukunai na
Jingai-san wa toki ni itta
"Oretachi no, naka darou"
Owattenna, shinrai nante mon wa nai
Okadochigai ni mo hodo ga arun janai no?
Mujun to dakyo ga tsukimono de
Kokyuu wo suru you ni uso wo tsuku
Marude akuma no you ni mieta no wa
Omaera no sei da
Urayamashisa ga katta
Akaku nigotta suisou ni nagerare
Rifujin mamire no sekai
Iki mo dekinai
Souzou to chigattetanda
Kirakira shita ano ko mo
Inochi to hikikae ni
Meisei wo ageta no desho
Seiron bakka narabete kuraku mo shiranai de
"Kimi shika inai" tte? Baka ni shinai de yo
Kanrinzai owakare ne kakawaranaide nee
"Shiranu ga hotoke" datte? Amaku mirarecha komaru na
Sou yatte, damashi damasareta yue ni, kuroku somatte ku
Waraenai, waraenai wa me ga shinda otona bakari
Ima omou "wagamama" nante ikikata mo
Warukunai na
Warukunai na
English translation
Mr. Logical told me
"Everyone around you is like this, so go along with it"
Don't compare yourself, the standards of societal generalizations
Can't measure who you are
"Just saying 'you can do it'" is nothing but empty words
They only care about their own profits
Now, I'm sure you're using me
As something other than a human being
Ignorance is bliss? I can't afford to be so naive
Because of being deceived and deceiving, I'm getting stained with darkness
It's not funny, not funny at all, just adults with dead eyes
Now I realize that living selfishly
Isn't so bad
Mr. Inhuman said sometimes
"We're friends, right?"
It's over, isn't it? There's no such thing as trust
Isn't it going too far in the wrong direction?
Contradictions and compromises are always there
Telling lies as naturally as breathing
It seemed just like a devil
But it's all your fault
Envy won out
Thrown into a murky red tank
A world smeared with injustice
Can't even breathe
It was different from what I imagined
Even that shining child
Exchanged their body for fame
Isn't that right?
Just listing logical arguments, without knowing the ups and downs
"You're the only one"? Don't make fun of me
Never see you again, don't get involved, hey
Ignorance is bliss? I can't afford to be so naive
Because of being deceived and deceiving, I'm getting stained with darkness
It's not funny, not funny at all, just adults with dead eyes
Now I realize that living selfishly
Isn't so bad
Isn't so bad
Japanese lyrics
正論さんは僕に言った
「周りはこう」「合わせなよ」
比べんな、世間一般論という
物差しで、測れやしないだろ
「君にはできる」って口だけです
利益しか頭にはないのです
今じゃきっとあなたの商品で
人形じゃないの
「知らぬが仏」だって？甘く見られちゃ困るな
そうやって、騙し騙された故に、黒く染まってく
笑えない、笑えないわ 死んだ目の大人ばかり
今思う「我儘」なんて生き方も
悪くないな
人外さんは時に言った
「俺たちの、仲だろう」
終わってんなぁ、信頼なんてもんはない
お門違いにも程があるんじゃないの？
矛盾と妥協が付きもので
呼吸をするように嘘をつく
まるで悪魔のように見えたのは
お前らのせいだ
羨ましさが勝った
赤く濁った水槽に投げられ
理不尽塗れの世界
息も出来ない
想像と違ってたんだ
キラキラしたあの子も
身体と引き換えに
名声をあげたのでしょ
正論ばっか並べて 苦楽も知らないで
「君しかいない」って？馬鹿にしないでよ
金輪際お別れね 関わらないで ねぇ
「知らぬが仏」だって？甘く見られちゃ困るな
そうやって、騙し騙された故に、黒く染まってく
笑えない、笑えないわ 目が死んだ大人ばかり
今思う「我儘」なんて生き方も
悪くないな
悪くないな
Song Interpretation
"正論さん" or "Mr. Lip Service" depicts a sense of disillusionment and frustration with societal expectations and the hypocrisy of those who claim to know what's best. The lyrics express a rejection of conforming to the opinions of others and the pressures to fit in. The narrator sees through the false words and selfish motives of those who only care about personal gain. They feel deceived and tainted by a world that values profit over genuine connection. The song highlights the suffocating atmosphere and the heaviness of living in a contradictory and compromised environment. It criticizes the adults who have lost their spark and warns against being consumed by jealousy and cynicism. The lyrics suggest that it's not necessarily wrong to live with a "selfish" mindset, as long as it allows for personal freedom and individuality. The narrator also questions the reliability of trust and the sincerity of relationships. The song portrays a disillusioned perspective, shedding light on the dark side of human nature and the consequences of compromising one's values. It ultimately concludes that such a self-centered way of living may not be so bad after all, given the circumstances.
