Unbought Pride from Lotus Garden by LOTUS UNDERCURRENT

[Verse 1]
I can't say I don't really need money
金が要らないとは言えないけど
You can't take it to the afterlife anyway
あの世には持っていけないだろ
Are you clinging to that thin pay envelope?
そのペラい給料袋にしがみつくのか？
Roll it up and burn it in the ashtray
そんなもの丸めて　灰皿で燃やしとけ

[Verse 2]
GRANT gloves with crushed knuckles, all worn out
ナックルの潰れた　GRANTのグローブを
Just the cash to replace them, nothing more
買い替える金だけあれば　それで充分だ
What money can't buy, what truly earns pride
金じゃ買えない　本当に誇れるものを
Seize it with those two fists of yours
その二つの拳で　掴み取るんだ

[Pre-Chorus]
Who guarantees tomorrow will surely come for you?
明日が必ず来るって　誰が保証してくれる？
Why not sprint through this now full force?
なぜこの今を　全力で駆け抜けようとしない？

[Chorus] ×2
What is worthy of burning your life for?
お前の命を燃やすに　値するものは何だ
Leave your narrow cage now, leap out, seek
今居る狭い檻から　飛び出し探し求めろ
It is never ever too late for you
いつだって　遅すぎやしない
Until the moment you burn out pure white
真っ白に燃え尽きる　その瞬間まで

[Verse 3]
I can't say I don't really need status
地位が要らないとは言えないけど
You can't take that to the afterlife anyway
あの世には持っていけないだろ
Are you clinging to title on your card?
その名刺の肩書きにしがみつくのか？
Rip it up, toss it in the gutter
そんなもの破って　ドブに捨てておけ

[Verse 4]
"Don't be a fool swayed by mere titles"
「先生と　呼ばれるほどの　バカでなし」
Only lately I grasped what my father meant
やっと最近　親父の言葉の意味が分かった
The true self no title can ever express
肩書きでは表現できない　本当の自分を
Still searching for that self, on this journey
まだ探し求めている　旅の途中だ

[Pre-Chorus]
Who guarantees tomorrow will surely come for you?
明日が必ず来るって　誰が保証してくれる？
Why not sprint through this now full force?
なぜこの今を　全力で駆け抜けようとしない？

[Chorus] ×2
What is worthy of burning your life for?
お前の命を燃やすに　値するものは何だ
Leave your narrow cage now, leap out, seek
今居る狭い檻から　飛び出し探し求めろ
It is never ever too late for you
いつだって　遅すぎやしない
Until the moment you burn out pure white
真っ白に燃え尽きる　その瞬間まで
