Playing cops and robbers 'neath Ginza signs
All who chance to prosper shall go blind
Won't you buy me a Ric to play
What I got ain't enough to pay

I'll play a riff

Plug me into Marshall, I'll blow out your window
And trip my way up to eternal heights
RAT and I will lay down and shake out your [bad word] hit of this distortion makes me high

Hōshū wa nyūsha-go heikōsen de
Tōkyō wa aisedo nani mo nai
Ryōshū-sho o kaite chōdai
Zeirishi nante tsuite inai kōrakuen

I'll rip into those robes and pursue the Dharma
Buddhist monk of my own would feel fine
Selflessness and cessation get you Nirvana
It Kurt would beat my Gretsch, I think I'd fly

Shōrai niku ni natte kekkon [bad word] hoshī
Maiban shingu de yūgi [bad word] dake
Piza-ya no kanojo ni natte mitai [bad word] benjī, atashi o guretchi de nagutte

I'm looking for a good way to fly
I'm searching for a way you can't buy
You know I know a kickin' way to die
It's rock and roll, martyrs keep the fans high
Still floating, as time rolls by
