"You're An Ace, Kid" lyrics
[Romanized:]
(Yuh)
What's hangin', young hero? Besides your head and spirit
That soul is sayin' somethin' profound, so let 'em hear it
Gave up the "safe and sound" for "bet it all on breakin' ground"
This vacant town was a mistake, and you can't turn around!
Your heroes and your idols turned out insincere and human
Reality's a dog, the fear's too high to keep on movin'
But you ain't interested in losin' are ya?
I thought not
Still too invested and improving- it's that fire you got
You came out to the city. It wasn't what you dreamed
Gave it 150. Was harder than it seemed
You said "goodbye" to home and people who supported you
To chase something invisible, you lived for that distorted view (Damn)
Your sorry superficial buddies like to shun and doubt you
Tonight's the party, everybody's having fun without you! (Man)
Forget 'em, players like us put in the effort
They're just scared of folks with focus cause they can't predict our weather!
You're an ace dealt back on the rebound, know that if
You wanna be a diamond star, ya better step up
Next rough patch, cue the rewound-mode
Dakedo akiramenai my soul (My soul)
The road to freedom can't be seen by downcast eyes
So raise your gaze up 'till your ten feet tall
And shake your fist at the sky!
Refuse to die, or let them make you small
Cause they'd love just to see you convinced
You're just a brick in the wall
Shakai no kitai ni oyobanakatta, gomen
I chose the free life, over money, job stability, men
Henka shite iru sekai umare ainoko
Kimihadare no shūjin? Dassō shinai no?
Cause I know, "I said so" don't make it right
"Sono yarikata dame" ttemaji kikitakunai.
Talk all night about your troubles, all it's gonna do is pause you
Shaberu dakenara sorry man, aikawarazu
Kotoba yori ga shigusa
Not the most difficult jigsaw
Rikai fusoku ari "wakamono kotoda"
Remind myself to zone on what's ahead of me
Mada tojikome rare teru fukuro no nezumi
Fushime-gachi ni sonomichi mienai zo
You see the "deeper meaning" only once you've seen the lies, so
Kono jōnetsu nakunaru mae ni
Mainichi defy speech, singin' beside omae is where I want to be
You're an ace dealt back on the rebound, know that if
You wanna be a diamond star, ya better step up
Next rough patch, cue the rewound-mode
Dakedo akiramenai my soul (My soul)
The road to freedom can't be seen by downcast eyes
So raise your gaze up 'till your ten feet tall
And shake your fist at the sky!
Refuse to die, or let them make you small
Cause they'd love just to see you convinced
You're just a brick in the wall
You're an ace dealt back on the rebound, know that
Daiyasutā ni naritainara doryoku hitsuyō
Saiaku no hi kitara waruku sō
Dakedo akiramenai my soul (My soul)
The road to freedom can't be seen by downcast eyes
So raise your gaze up 'till your 10 feet tall
And shake your fist at the sky
Refuse to die or let them make you small
Omae mo shinanai
This one will live for tomorrow!
You're an ace dealt back on the rebound, know that if
You wanna be a diamond star, ya better step up
Next rough patch, cue the rewound-mode
Dakedo akiramenai my soul (My soul)
The road to freedom can't be seen by downcast eyes
So raise your gaze up 'till your ten feet tall
And shake your fist at the sky!
Refuse to die, or let them make you small
Cause they'd love just to see you convinced
You're just a brick in the wall
But you're not just a "brick in the wall"
But you're not just a "brick in the wall"

You're just a brick in the wall
社会の期待に及ばなかった、ごめん
I chose the free life, over money, job stability, men
変化している世界生まれ間の子
君は誰の囚人？脱走しないの？
Cause I know, "I said so" don't make it right
「そのやり方だめ」ってまじ聞きたくない。
Talk all night about your troubles, all it's gonna do is pause you
喋るだけなら sorry man, 相変わらず
言葉よりが仕草
Not the most difficult jigsaw
理解不足あり 「若者ことだ」
Remind myself to zone on what's ahead of me
まだ閉じ込められてる袋のネズミ
伏し目がちにその道見えないぞ

この情熱なくなる前に

最悪の日来たら悪くそう
だけど諦めない my soul (My soul)

And shake your fist at the sky
Refuse to die or let them make you small
