Mad World (lyrics)
edit: Updated with the official lyrics.
[edit (2017/06) : Thanks to some Japanese fans, I finally figured out what ツケの神 is supposed to mean The "ツケ" is likely a reference to "ツケが回ってくる" (if you do something bad, retribution will come for you in the end). That's why I changed the translation to "god of retribution".] Mad World If trees could speak what would they plead for? Chopped down without mercy, they lie at death’s door The god of retribution laughs at our endless foolishness * Please, tell me, if it's you, what would you think at a time like this? Please, tell me, if it’s me, to whom should I confess what I’m thinking at a time like this, in tears? If the wind could speak what would it plead for? Its colours and scent polluted beyond recognition The god of retribution laughs at our immense arrogance ** Please, tell me, if it's you, how would you live in this era? Please, tell me, this era honestly makes me sick to my stomach — where should I voice this opinion? "It means nothing if I, just one person, stands up" — thinking like that, will you simply wait for a stranger to stand up before you? * repeat ** repeat Japanese lyrics: Spoiler:
