I want to run off
Goodbye
I hate trouble
I want to share my luck
I like
beautiful culture

Just how long will it take
to get to a life that feels good?
We really won’t make it
I don’t have.. the body or the time

I want to be inspired
Right away,
I want to spend all my time
“doing my best
at any rate”
What is my vocation?

Just when will we be connected
to the point of endless sufficiency?
I want to be happy
Someone save me, please!

I only want to be doing what I want to
What hurts is that I don’t really like it
As predicted for as expected
Grant my wish

I want to pour into
white sand
Give me justice
I want to join forces
with my VIP superiors
Give me encouragement

Just where are we returning to
so pleased with an initial investment?
Economics put at ease by counterbalancing
A yummy rose-colored life

I only know how to do what I want to
What’s rough is that I can’t really resist it
Sweet medicine for spicy poison
Shield and sword
I who must stand up against that
want to be loved by even someone I hate
while I’m about to devote
a lifetime to accepting these conditions

What I want to do is not to be found
To lament doesn’t keep up appearances
A mouth that speaks no evil as if it’s angered
I won’t look up
I only want to be doing what I want to
The bad one is whoever that is – don’t show your face
Even as I’m coiling up tubes from first to last,
please let me dream
