Blues Drive Monster

Blues Drive Monster is a song by Japanese rock group The Pillows. It is featured in the fifth episode of FLCL titled "Brittle Bullet", when Haruko Haruhara, dressed in a bunnygirl outfit, arrives to help Naota Nandaba and Mamimi Samejima after they are trapped on top of the Detective Rifle Mecha.
It is also featured twice in FLCL: Grunge. In the first episode, "Shinpachi", it is played as Shinpachi arrives on his bike to save Haruko as she is confronted by Mayor Kuroiwa and his army of police, yakuza, and private security. In the second episode, "Shonari", it is played again when Haruko attempts to flee, followed by Shinpachi and Shonari trying to catch up with her as she heads towards the Medical Mechanica building.
Originally released on the band's 1998 album, Little Busters, it is included in the second FLCL OST album, FLCL No.2 King of Pirates, as well as the third OST, FLCL No.3.

眼鏡に張り付いてるように
どこを見ても
代り栄えしないこの景色
今日も退屈でがっかり
皆一体どんなシステムで
感情をコントロールしてんだ
気が狂いそうで泣き出した
僕がまともなんだよ
Morning station
満員電車に乗れなくて
鍵だらけな部屋にこもった
少年時代
ラジオから抜け出してきた
エレクトリックな怪物
囁いてばっかりのスピーカーを
君は息で吹き飛ばした
時代が望んだヒーロー
目の前で倒してよ
Power station
何ボルトだってあげるよ
Blues drive monster
憂鬱な世界を踏み潰してくれないか
ずっと待ってる
Na-na-na Now
大人が眉間にシワを寄せる
笑い声と
足音が響き渡って
ゆっくりと近付いて来る
奴らピストル持って
君の巨大な喉を狙ってるんだ
そんなもの通じるんだなんて
思い上がりなんだよ
Radio station
幻の壁を破って
Blues drive monster
憂鬱な世界を踏み潰してくれないか
ずっと待ってる
Oh yeah 
何度も夢で君の肩にまたがって
走ってた
夜が明けるまで
Na-na-na Now
Na-na-na Now

As if it was painted onto my glasses
No matter where I look
The scenery never gets better
I'm disappointed at how boring today is again
What kind of system is everyone using to control their emotions?
To be honest, I'm crying because I feel like I'm going crazy
MORNING STATION 
I'm not getting onto the packed train
 
I spent my boyhood locked in a room surrounded by keys
But then it came out of the radio
An electric monster
The speakers that only whispered
You blew them away with a breath
Defeating the hero this generation wished for right in front of me
POWER STATION 
I'll give you as many volts as you want
 
BLUES DRIVE MONSTER
Can't you just smash up this melancholy world of ours?
I've been waiting for you forever
Na-na-na Now!
 
The adults with a crease between their eyebrows
Using a friendly voice, the sound of their footsteps echoes
As they slowly get closer
They're carrying pistols
And they're aiming for your giant throat
They think they can communicate like that, they're so conceited
RADIO STATION 
Break down the illusionary wall
 
BLUES DRIVE MONSTER
Can't you just smash up this melancholy world of ours?
I've been waiting for you forever
Oh yeah! 
In countless dreams
I sat on your shoulders as you ran
Until daybreak
Na-na-na Now!
Na-na-na Now!
