Tapping Paste
In the hastening hot winds
My spirit drips
If you chew on steel shavings
It helps out your feet
Oh, sheet metal!
They long after that slovenly lifestyle
they never tire of.
They give in to the vicious circle.
This country's citizens in dull despair.
Never bookbinding
Okay sheet metal
Japanese Lyrics:
Sekitateru neppou ni
急きたてる熱風に
Kimo ga shitatari
肝が滴り
Koutetsu no jinkai kameba
鋼鉄の塵芥噛めば
Ashi o sukuware
足をすくわれ
Ou bankin (x3)
おう板金
Taumanu jidaraku na
たゆまぬ自堕落な
Seikatsu ni akogare
生活に憧れ
Akujunkan ni makaseru
悪循環に任せる
Taikusu na zetsubou no kokumin yo
退屈な絶望の国民よ
Nebaa seihon (x3)
ネバー製本
Okkee bankin
オッケー板金
