People people people, everybody out here
I know that you don’t know when to say
Waste the music and dance, at night it’s doobie doobah
The sun’s up so it’s time to go home
The world’s just a supersized supermarket. They got everything you need, but what is it that YOU want?
Paralyzing, demoralizing, another day wasted: unsurprising
We are the young Japanese, we are the young Japanese
We are the young Japanese, we are the young Japanese
Ah! Another day, another headache. Can’t get out of bed, lying here awake
Type, retype, delete – I don’t know what to say to you. So I close my phone and put it away
Everything I knew last night: gone in the morning. Another late start: pouring coffee in the evening
And now you’re pissed off, but in my mind I was imagining naked women
We are the young Japanese… Life’s just so easy when it’s not your fault
We are the young Japanese… All this bad luck – blame it on somebody else
We are the young Japanese… But you & I know we’re on our own
Enjoying every minute that’s how we’re living. We don’t know where we’re going but we know where we’ve been
See him try to find his lover (Leave the goodbyes for later)
So much ground that he must cover (I just want to have fun now)
See his iPhone with the flash on like a lighthouse trying to find each other
And then one day they will discover (No one can live life alone)
Together may not be forever (That’s why we seek one another)
Rain falling hard, a Tokyo diorama
The drama unfolds in a panorama
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
People people people, finally home but you pass out on the floor and you still got your shoes on
Keep on movin’ up, a beast hides within the swaying curtain
The light of the city at night, always so bright. I don’t feel alone but I don’t feel at home
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 wrong
We are the young Japanese… Let me tell you what Iggy means to me
We are the young Japanese… Raw Power reminds me of who I can be
We are the young Japanese… I wish you could feel how it feels to me
The best that I can do is try to show you. But all you hear is “Penetration” and you’re reeling away No, no, no
Music, I wanna hear you (I listen as I walk through the city)
Play it loud so that it rings true (Alongside trembling gods)
And suddenly I am invincible so do what you want I don’t fear you
Everybody else is lost too (They’ve been watered down)
So you don’t ever have to feel blue (As you sample the night’s flavor)
Back walkin’ down the streets that you did when you were seven
Caught in the sudden downpour
See him try to find his lover
So much ground that he must cover
See his iPhone with the flash on like a lighthouse trying to find each other
And then one day they will discover (No one can live life alone)
Together may not be forever (That’s why we seek one another)
Wearing matching rings made of stardust, what a drama
Rain falling hard, a Tokyo diorama
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
We are the Young Japanese, We are the Young Japanese
