ReVision of Sence - I'm a kuzu ningen (english translation)

I know very little about this band, but I like bratty singers, and this guy is basically gaki incarnate. The translation I did might be a bit off in places, but I think the general idea of the song is pretty clear.


I'm a クズ人間 / I’m a Garbage Human*

Lyrics: Kawai Kazuma
Music: ReVision of Sence

I’m a garbage human

The Japanese representatives of the dregs of humanity that have been forced to the fringes of schools, workplaces and families and looked down upon – let’s start our counterattack now!

Good people, FUCK YOU!!!

More than yourself, you need to look out for others
Help those around you
Help those around you
If I become easy for others to use and smile, am I a good person?**

It’s strange, isn’t it?
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?
It’s the norm, but something about it is wrong, isn’t it?
Are the eccentric people that have gone off the rails really trash?

Boys, even if you’re trash,
It’s fine if you don’t become a good person
There’s no good or bad
The line between fitting in or not is always paper thin***

Your selfishness will become for someone else’s sake one day
If you have the time to give thanks, then go do it
We are garbage people

I’m a garbage human

Going to a good university, getting a good job, and being surrounded by a wife and kids
Who decided that being able to buy a family home is the definition of success?

Even if you hurt someone and give up on being courteous,
You might as well live for yourself, and then one day you’ll end up doing it for someone else****

What do you want to do now?
What do you want?
Where do you want to go?
If we’re supposed to be free to do anything,
Why can’t we go anywhere?

Even if you quit working for a company and go to a public employment service, you’ll be judged for being too picky about work
Is a life that’s gone off the rails really trash?

Boys, even if you’re trash,
It’s fine if you don’t become a good person
There’s no good or bad
The line between fitting in or not is always paper thin

Your selfishness will become for someone else’s sake one day
If you have the time to give thanks, then go do it
We are garbage people

I’m a garbage human

Boys, even if you’re trash,
It’s fine if you don’t become a good person

If living only for yourself is garbage,
Then being garbage is fine
It’s your life – you’re the one that needs to take responsibility for it

No matter how low you are, there is a place you’ve been dreaming of
For me, it’s here
Where is it for you?
We are garbage people

I’m a garbage human

Notes:
*I feel like “I’m human trash” works better in English, but the “I’m a” being in English rules that out
**. ***, ****Not sure about these lines, so I’d take them with a grain of salt
