1.People people people, everybody out here
2.I know that you don’t know when to say
3.Waste the music and dance, at night it’s doobie doobah
4.The sun’s up so it’s time to go home
5.The world’s just a supersized supermarket. They got everything you need, but what is it that YOU want?
6.Paralyzing, demoralizing, another day wasted: unsurprising7.
8.We are the young Japanese, we are the young Japanese
9.We are the young Japanese, we are the young Japanese10.
11.Ah! Another day, another headache. Can’t get out of bed, lying here awake
12.Type, retype, delete – I don’t know what to say to you. So I close my phone and put it away
13.Everything I knew last night: gone in the morning. Another late start: pouring coffee in the evening
14.And now you’re pissed off, but in my mind I was imagining naked women15.
16.We are the young Japanese… Life’s just so easy when it’s not your fault
17.We are the young Japanese… All this bad luck – blame it on somebody else
18.We are the young Japanese… But you & I know we’re on our own
19.Enjoying every minute that’s how we’re living. We don’t know where we’re going but we know where we’ve been20.
21.See him try to find his lover (Leave the goodbyes for later)
22.So much ground that he must cover (I just want to have fun now)
23.See his iPhone with the flash on like a lighthouse trying to find each other
24.And then one day they will discover (No one can live life alone)
25.Together may not be forever (That’s why we seek one another)
26.Rain falling hard, a Tokyo diorama
27.The drama unfolds in a panorama28.
29.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
30.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese31.
32.People people people, finally home but you pass out on the floor and you still got your shoes on
33.Keep on movin’ up, a beast hides within the swaying curtain
34.The light of the city at night, always so bright. I don’t feel alone but I don’t feel at home
35.If I can’t look back and see how much I’ve grown, I’m not on the right track, I’m doing it all wrong36.
37.We are the young Japanese… Let me tell you what Iggy means to me
38.We are the young Japanese… Raw Power reminds me of who I can be
39.We are the young Japanese… I wish you could feel how it feels to me
40.The best that I can do is try to show you. But all you hear is “Penetration” and you’re reeling away No, no, no41.
42.Music, I wanna hear you (I listen as I walk through the city)
43.Play it loud so that it rings true (Alongside trembling gods)
44.And suddenly I am invincible so do what you want I don’t fear you
45.Everybody else is lost too (They’ve been watered down)
46.So you don’t ever have to feel blue (As you sample the night’s flavor)
47.Back walkin’ down the streets that you did when you were seven
48.Caught in the sudden downpour
49.See him try to find his lover
50.So much ground that he must cover
51.See his iPhone with the flash on like a lighthouse trying to find each other
52.And then one day they will discover (No one can live life alone)
53.Together may not be forever (That’s why we seek one another)
54.Wearing matching rings made of stardust, what a drama
55.Rain falling hard, a Tokyo diorama56.
57.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
58.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
59.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
60.We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
