Becoming Potatoes

Becoming Potatoes

Becoming Potatoes

In a bullpen full of scrubs that can't be saved anymore
もう救えないスクラブばかりのブルペンじゃ
mou sukuenai sukurabu bakari no burupen ja
There's no cheap youth or tears, not even that
ちゃちな青春もお涙もそれすらないもんな
chachi na seishun mo onamida mo sore sura nai mon na
Can't even manage a comedy scene that's not really funny
そうとうに笑えないコメディのワンシーンもままならない
soutou ni waraenai komedi no wan shiin mo mama naranai
Just mixing cold chowder, that's life
冷たいチャウダーをただ混ぜ合わしたサモそんな人生さ
sameta chaudaa wo tada mazeawashita samo sonna jinsei sa

How long should we pretend not to see the fruits of the misplaced button
かけ違えたボタンの実りをいつのいつまで見ぬふりしようか
kakechigaeta botan no minari wo itsu no itsu made minu furi shiyou ka
Yeah, there's no specification for whistling
そうかい口笛の仕様もないな
sou kai kouben no shiyou mo nai na

By chance, running into a fire and throwing in firewood and oil
たまたま火事場に逃げ込んで養火と油を放り込んで
tamatama kajijou ni nigekonde yokare to abura wo hourikonde
Life and plans all turn into potatoes
生活も計画も全部がポテトになっていく
seikatsu mo keikaku mo zenbu ga potato ni natte iku
Bubbling, tomorrow foams and boils, cooked with eyes wide open
ぐつぐつ明日が泡吹いて白目のままに茹で上がって
gutsugutsu ashita ga awa fuite shirome no mama ni yudeagatte
The secret to victory and success, all turning into potatoes
勝利蔵成功法全部がポテトになっていく
shouraizou seikouhou zenbu ga potato ni natte iku

Let's all mess around like this, melting the future in the mud
このままみんなでひたり散らかして泥々に未来を溶かして
kono mama minna de hitari chirakashite dorodoro ni mirai wo tokashite
Let's crumple up in this kind of life
そんな暮らしのままでクシャクシャになっていこうぜ
sonna kurashi no mama de kusha kusha ni natte ikou ze

There's no time left for us, it's embarrassing but there's no right
もう時間がない我らに見苦だけど権利などない
mou jikan ga nai warera ni mikudasu kenri nado nai
Even the boos we emit are now medals
うぞうもうが発したブーイングも今なら勲章さ
uzoumuzou ga hasshita buuingu mo ima nara kunshou sa
Can't really laugh, everyone has to say that
そうとうに笑えない誰だってそう言わざるを得ない
soutou ni waraenai daredatte sou iwazaru wo enai
Like a fool's one trick, just spinning around and turning into butter
バカのひとつ覚えのようにから回ってただバターになっている
baka no hitotsu oboe no you ni kara mawatte tada bataa ni natteiru

At first, that wasn't the intention, believe someone or not
はじめはこんなつもりじゃなかった誰か信じてくれや信じないか
hajime wa konna tsumori janakatta dareka shinjite kure ya shinai ka
There's no room for reflection at all
一切、反省の余地はないが
issai, hanshou no yochi wa nai ga

As if knowing nothing, throwing firewood at the right moment
あたかも何も知らぬ顔でここぞと焚き木を投げ込んで
atakamo nanimo shiranu kao de koko zo to takigi wo nagekonde
Life and plans all turn into potatoes
生活も計画も全部がポテトになっていく
seikatsu mo keikaku mo zenbu ga potato ni natte iku
Golden brown, tomorrow fully cooked, burning so much the shape can't be seen
こんがり明日が煮えきって姿見えぬほど燃え上がって
kongari ashita ga niekitte sugata mienu hodo moeagatte
The secret to victory and success, all turning into potatoes
勝利蔵成功法全部がポテトになっていく
shouraizou seikouhou zenbu ga potato ni natte iku

Let's all mess around like this, melting the future in the mud
このままみんなでひたり散らかして泥々に未来を溶かして
kono mama minna de hitari chirakashite dorodoro ni mirai wo tokashite
In that bowl, let's pretend to be a cold rice field
そんなボウルの中で薄ら寒し田とかしようぜ
sonna bouru no naka de usabarashi da to ka shiyou ze
Let's crumple up in this kind of life
そんな暮らしのままでクシャクシャになっていこうぜ
sonna kurashi no mama de kusha kusha ni natte ikou ze
