English Translation

I am a slave

Something I don't want to do. The adults
They're forcing it on us

Where will I use this?
This foolish Circle of Wisdom that I'm attached to
Then, I'll quit if I could quit
There is no minimum amount needed anyway

I don't want to do it, don't want to do it
Then, what do you want to do?
I don't know, I said I don't know
This is the only thing I've ever done

I don't want to die, don't want to die
Then, what's your reason to live?
I don't know, I said I don't know
Just a slave. You've become a slave like the others

What do I do with this situation?
Sort it, Sort it, Sort it, Sort it
Can I do that?

Anyhow, Anyhow, Anyhow
It didn't even change
Can't you see
All we do is get used to being sad
Even when we turn our backs
We're going in circles, but it's not opening
Remember what they said

Well, they didn't teach me much of anything useful
Ah, I should've dropped early and stayed out of this
I can't believe this.

What if this isn't a slave?

I don't want to do it, don't want to do it
Then, what do you want to do?
I don't know, I said I don't know
This is the only thing I've ever done

I don't want to lose, don't want to lose
Then, why do you want to win?
I don't know, I said I don't know
Just a slave. You've become a slave like the others

What do I do with this situation?
Break it, Break it, Break it, Break it
Can I do that?

Anyhow, Anyhow, Anyhow
It's just a bunch of wasted effort
Can't you see
Wouldn't it be easier if you just threw them out?
Even if it makes a difference
It's very insignificant, invisible in the big picture
Question it in your head

Well, its not like I deserve this life in the first place
Ah, I wish I'd been late for a few more seconds
I can't believe this.

What if this isn't a slave?

Where will I use this?
This foolish Circle of Wisdom that I'm attached to
Then, I'll quit if I could quit
There is no minimum amount needed anyway
No honor, no rights
Just a bunch of puppets
Then, I'll run away if I could run away
Even if my name disappears

Something I don't want to do. The adults
They're forcing it on me

I've become a slave to them
　
I don't want to do it, don't want to do it
Then, what do you want to do?
I don't know, I said I don't know
This is the only thing I've ever done

I don't want to die, don't want to die
Then, what's your reason to live?
I don't know, I said I don't know
Just a slave. You've become a slave like the others

What do I do with this situation?
Break it, break it, break it, break it
Can you?
