lyrics

decisions for frank
grandma wheels or miniskirt
i will take both please

フランクの決定
おばあちゃんの車輪やミニスカート
私は両方を取る

work work work work work
fifteen minutes for myself
work work i hate this

仕事仕事仕事仕事仕事
自分のために15分
私はこれが嫌い仕事の仕事

a red pickup truck
all my friends hang out here but
they are not my friends

赤いピックアップトラック
私の友人たちはここにいるのですが、
彼らは私の友人ではありません

white like winter bleach
bravely we serve and protect
things like hamburgers

冬の漂白剤のような白い
勇敢に私たちは奉仕し保護する
ハンバーガーのようなもの

spare any change sir
i spent it all on french fries
i don’t believe you

任意の変更をスペア
私はフレンチフライですべてを過ごした
私はあなたを信じません

i like your wheels but
only room for one of us
go away now thanks

私はあなたの車輪が好きですが
私たち一人のための部屋
今すぐに行く

here i take my stand
frozen like a beef patty
no one leaves today

ここで私は立つ
牛のパテのように冷凍された
誰も今日去ることはない

so many choices
freedom has made us dizzy
and so little time

非常に多くの選択肢
自由は私たちをめまいにさせた
あまり時間がない

i wait for him here
he told me here where is he
heartbroken, hungry

私は彼をここで待つ
彼はどこにいるの？
悲惨な、飢えた

i wait for her here
she told me here where is she
hungry, heartbroken

私は彼女をここで待つ
彼女はどこにいるの？
空腹、悲しみ

such diversity
a melting pot of such scale
we are all pals here

そのような多様性
そのような規模の融点
私たちはここですべての仲間です

we seem to be stuck
the space-time continuum
has succumbed to fries

私たちは立ち往生しているようだ
空時の連続体
フライドポテトに屈した

can i get a hit
what a day wouldn’t you say
whoa that’s good stuff man

私はヒットすることはできますか？
あなたは何を言いませんか
うーん、それは良いものの男です

a crime has occurred
i wonder if it was as
bad as my paycheck

犯罪が発生した
私はそれがそうだったのだろうか
私の給料として悪い
