Working without sleeping, Reiwa Japan

My workplace is a huge company

I'm a Japanese salaryman

The words I spit are pretty realistic

The client is king

Please accept my sincerest apologies

Let me contribute to the company's growth and development

You piece of shit!

They say save up for old age

But even my pay is a virtual currency

The lesson fees of life

Can't be marked as a business expense, you shit!

Bubble economy… millennials… veterans… dead wood…

From self-made to parental connections

Survive this stressful hell

While dancing on top of a skyscraper

6 AM - Wake up

7 AM - Arrive at work

8 AM - Morning assembly

Chanting the company's motto

A greeting said like clockwork: "I'll do my very best!"

Long working hours, the last train is gone

Arriving at this, my life

Work is never-ending again today

Is our company black or white?

In a black and white society

Working until I become ash

Working and living as I search for a grey zone

A sewer rat that runs through the workaholic Tokyo City

A show where we diss 'til

Dress shirts and recruit burns

I don't want to work…

I don't want to work…

I don't want to work…

But actually, I will work!

Sexual harassment, power harassment

I'll leak it, you piece of shit boss

It's what self-responsibility means

Tighten your necktie and focus your mind

Be attentive to seniors and the boss

Be thoughtful to juniors and to the staff

On a secret social media account

It's probably alright if I vent a tiny bit

This company is a slave market

Now everyone, give testimony

But as soon I get up at leave on time

What are those cold stares?

The employee ID card is proof of being a corporate drone

Well that's fine, I get another step closer

I'll explode, revolutionize the way I work

Subtracting taxes from the payslip

Alcohol is an anxiolytic?

Whether the economy is good or bad

It's got nothing to do with the job description

I've finally reached the limit of my productivity

In that case, I've got no choice but to change it

My life, is it black or white?

In a black and white society

Working until I become ash

Working and living as I search for a grey zone

A sewer rat that runs through the workaholic Tokyo City

A show where we diss 'til

Dress shirts and recruit burns

I don't want to work

Black or white… black or white…

I don't want to work

Black or white… black or white…

Is there a demotion? Will you give me a bonus?

If my quota goes up, my mood will go down

I don't want to work, but I can't live

I need to work, or I can't go on living

It's easy to put up a middle finger

But instead of venting, yeah, do something

That's us, the salarymen of Japan

Tough and quietly, "I'll make things clear"

In a black and white society

Working until I become ash

Working and living as I search for a grey zone

A sewer rat that runs through the workaholic Tokyo City

A show where we diss 'til

Dress shirts and recruit burns

眠らず働く　令和　日本

勤務先　デカイ企業

I’M ジャパニーズサラリーマン

吐く言葉　かなりリアル

取引先は神様です

誠に申し訳ありません

御社の成長と発展に貢献させろ　クソッタレ

老後の資金　そう言うが

給料さえ仮想通貨

自生の勉強代は

経費で落とせねえ　クソが

バブル　ゆとり　生え抜き窓際

叩き上げからのコネ

ストレス地獄を生き残れ

摩天楼の上で踊れ

6時起床　7時出社

8時朝礼　社訓の唱和

規則正しく行う挨拶

「一生懸命頑張ります」

長時間労働　無い終電

辿り着いた我が人生

今日も仕事が終わらない

我が社は BLACK OR WHITE?

黒と白の社会で

灰になるまで WORKING

グレーゾーン探して

働き　生きてく

WORKAHOLIC TOKYO CITY

走るドブネズミ

Yシャツとリクルート

燃えるまでディスるSHOW

働きたくないぜ

働きたくないぜ

働きたくないぜ

やっぱり働きます！

セクハラ　パワハラ　リークしてやるくそ上司

自己責任だろ　テメエの　ネクタイと気を引き締めろ

先輩　上司に気配りを　後輩　部下に気遣いを

SNSの裏アカでちょっぴり愚痴っても良いだろ

この会社は奴隷市場さあ皆証言しな

なのに定時で上がる途端　冷たい視線は何なんだ？

社畜の証が社員証　まあ良いよ　また一歩

近づくぜ　爆発　するぜ　働き方改革

給料明細引く税金酒が精神安定剤？

景気が良くても悪くても業務内容は関係ない

とうとう限界点　迎える労働生産性

ならば変えるしかないね　俺の人生 BLACK OR WHITE?

黒か白の社会で灰になるまで WORKING

グレーゾーン探して　働き生きてく

WORKAHOLIC TOKYO CITY 走るドブネズミ

Ｙシャツとリクルート燃えるまでディスるSHOW

働きたくないぜ　BLACK OR WHITE, BLACK OR WHITE

働きたくないぜ　BLACK OR WHITE, BLACK OR WHITE

降格あるの？　ボーナス出すの？　ノルマ上がると気分下がるよ

働きたくないでも生きれない　働かないと生きてはいけない

中指立てるの簡単だけど　愚痴るよりもそう　行動しろよ

それが俺たち　日本のサラリーマン　タフに静かに「白黒つけます」

黒か白の社会で灰になるまで WORKING

グレーゾーン探して　働き　生きてく

WORKAHOLIC TOKYO CITY走るドブネズミ

Ｙシャツとリクルート　燃えるまでディスるSHOW
