제발 좀 잘난 척하지 마

Please stop acting so high and mighty

알고 보면 네가 제일 불쌍해

If you actually knew, you're the most pathetic one

그래 날 더 자극 시켜봐

Yeah, go ahead and provoke me more

잠깐 재미라도 볼 수 있게

Just so I can have a little fun

돈 좇다 권력 좇다 명예만 좇다

Chasing money, chasing power, chasing only fame

가랑이가 찢어져자

You're gonna rip your crotch

빠질 테니까

Wide open

사랑 좋다 우정 좋다 말들 하지만

People talk about love and friendship being great

각오해 뒤통수가

But get ready, 'cause you're gonna

시릴 테니까

Get stabbed in the back

Hey doctor doctor

Hey doctor doctor

날 좀 살려줘요

Please save me

확 돌아버리겠으니까

'Cause I'm about to lose my mind

어설픈 말들로

Don't try to cover it up

둘러대지 말고

With those clumsy words

Hear me say

Hear me say

(아 진짜 이씨)

(Ah, seriously, damn it)

맨정신이 난 힘들어

I can't handle being sober

아무것도 할 수가 없어

I can't do anything

맨정신이 난 제일 싫어

I hate being sober the most

너 없인 잠들 수가 없어

I can't fall asleep without you

시간은 더럽게 안 가고

Time is moving slow as hell

나이만 들어 죽은 듯 살아

I'm just getting older, living like I'm dead

할 일은 더럽게 많은데

There's so much shit to do

하고 싶은건 하나도 없어

But there's nothing I actually want to do

세상이 내겐 차갑고

The world is cold to me

남 시선은 따갑지

And people's stares are stinging

어른 같지만 어린아이

I look like an adult but I'm a child

작은 키만 훌쩍 자랐지

Only my height grew quickly

어릴 적 낭만은 사라진 환상

Childhood romance is a vanished fantasy

내 기분은 광활한 광야

My mood is a vast wilderness

사람들은 날 이해 못 해

People don't understand me

나도 몰래 맛 가볼래

I might just lose it without even knowing

취해라 취해 천국으로 가

Get drunk, get drunk, go to heaven

깨고 나면 지옥 얼마 못 가

Once you wake up, it's hell in no time

난 지금 시금치 없는 뽀빠이

Right now I'm like Popeye without spinach

이런 나를 유혹하는

Tempting me like this

웃음 폭탄

A bomb of laughter

Hey TAXI TAXI

Hey TAXI TAXI

날 데려가 줘요

Please take me away

이곳은 너무 힘드니까

Because it's too hard here

며칠 동안만이라도

Even if it's just for a few days

숨 좀 쉴 수 있게

So I can breathe a little

(아 진짜 이씨)

(Ah, seriously, damn it)

맨정신이 난 힘들어

I can't handle being sober

아무것도 할 수가 없어

I can't do anything

맨정신이 난 제일 싫어

I hate being sober the most

너 없인 잠들 수가 없어

I can't fall asleep without you

시간은 더럽게 안 가고

Time is moving slow as hell

나이만 들어 죽은 듯 살아

I'm just getting older, living like I'm dead
