Hey mom, it’s just as you say. They ought to be brought to justice.
They took away everything they could take. Collapsed buildings, tanks and the setting sun.

Hey mom, it’s just as you say. We ought to love our neighbors.
Son, there’s nothing uglier than backbiting. Take each other’s hands and exchange smiles.

Just trying to survive in times like these, it’s a tough work, my dear. I wish you much happiness.

Turning on my TV with sleepy eyes, my blurry head started to get force-fed.
Murders, robberies, fatal accidents. Trends, idols, shut up already.
Never have time to feel relieved, our days get worn away by going with the flow.
We’re looking for encouraging news. We’re looking for encouraging news.

Hey mom, it’s just as you say. We ought to kick others down.
Happiness is a reward for winners. Try not to lose. Try not to get away.

I cover my eyes, but I’m forced to hear a scream. I cover my ears, but I’m forced to open my eyes.

Rushed by the white morning sun, I was in a train on my way to her place.
There some fool was bragging out loud, and I saw it chased away a mother with a child to the next car.
With people’s thoughts colliding with each other, the packed train became a personal war zone.
I was busy trying to keep myself, but in fact I was just resting on someone’s shoulder.

Hey mom, didn’t you just say. That we would be punished if we tell a lie.
That we would be saved if we pray to God. That all efforts would pay off someday.
Hey mom, I came to find out myself. That all humans are equal.
That the world is beautiful as it is. That those are nothing but delusions.

As it’s been denied that all humans are born good, we are the ones who have to clean up the mess.
With no way out, locked inside a small box, only escapism can give us a laugh now.
“Humans are fundamentally kind.” Wasn’t it you who showed that it’s just a lie.
Education, religions, morals. Whatever it is, just give us what’s next.

Hey mom, it’s just as you say. When you believe without a doubt that you are good,
Others are likely to see you as evil. And my dear, you are my only good.
