ーーThe English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyricsーー [Intro] Someone’s profiting behind cheap labor [Verse 1] ワンコインランチ、千円の壁 みんなが呟く “コスパ最強” だって でもな、それ作った知恵と手間はどこだ？ You know creativity and labor ain't free, right? 流通マージン 奪い合い乗せ合い 棚に並ぶまで 何人どれだけ関わる？ “送料無料” を勘違いするなよ Behind the scenes, someone’s screaming at night. [Pre Chorus] ギリギリなトコを削り捨てられ 見えないトコで無理させられる 「神コスパ」ってキラキラワード これ褒め殺しのカスハラだろ？ [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price? Who decided that "cheap is justice"? ファストジャンクに三ツ星レベル希望って That's impossible! 何寝ぼけてやがる？ Don't push on others what you can't do yourself. みんなで win-win じゃないと、 搾取される側に堕ちて終わるぞ Finding the answer ain't easy, though. 「庶民の味方ぶった安さ」が、一番罪深い [Verse 2] 「AI使ったら？」とか軽々しく言うな その陰にある 血と汗見たのか？ 何十回の修正乗り越えて 出したデザインに「高い」は禁句 [Pre Chorus] 予算削減、でもクオリティ要求 「おまかせで安く」はバルスの呪文 誇りも砕かれる低賃金の渦 その価格にこめた想いに気づけ [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price? Who decided that "cheap is justice"? 安いギャラで巨匠レベル求めるのか？ That's impossible. 何寝ぼけてやがる？ Don't push on others what you can't do yourself. みんなで win-win じゃなきゃ、 搾取される側に堕ちてくだけだ Finding the answer ain't easy, though. 「安くて高品質が欲しい」 それが一番罪深い [Bridge] Improve! Produce! Challenge! — all for the Bright Vision その先に煌めく夢や愛はあるのかい？ 30年黙って耐えた庶民も 黙って見過ごした支配者も 同じ奈落に堕ちる運命（さだめ）なのか？ [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price?! （We don't know!） Who's fading out behind that smile?! （We won't ignore!） 「本当の豊かさ」って何だ？ 仕事の本質は「感謝」だろ？ 便利も当たり前じゃない！ （そうだろ！） 平和も当たり前じゃない！ （守ろう！） 笑顔も当たり前じゃない！ （信じよう！） 命も当たり前じゃない！ （生きよう！） Behind the price tag, someone’s holding on A silent scream drowned in consumption’s song 気づく勇気が時代を変える 明日のために今日を選べよ [Outro] Someone’s making money behind that cheap price Someone’s making money behind that cheap labor ーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Intro] Someone’s profiting behind cheap labor [Verse 1] One-coin lunches, the thousand-yen ceiling Everyone tweets, “Best value ever!” — really? But where’s the wisdom and effort that made it? You know creativity and labor ain’t free, right? Margins stacked, slashed, and fought over How many hands until it hits the shelf? Don’t be fooled by “free shipping” Behind the scenes, someone’s screaming at night. [Pre-Chorus] Cutting corners ‘til it bleeds Forcing strain where no one sees “God-tier value” — that shiny word Is just a polished form of consumer abuse [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price? Who decided that "cheap is justice"? Demanding 3-star quality from fast-junk pricing — That’s impossible! What kind of dream are you dreaming? Don’t push on others what you can’t do yourself If it’s not win-win for everyone, You’ll end up on the side that’s exploited Finding the answer ain’t easy, though But this “cheapness disguised as kindness” That’s the deadliest sin of all [Verse 2] “Why not use AI?” — Don’t say it so casually Have you seen the blood and sweat behind it? Tens of revisions, back and forth Don’t call that final design “too expensive” [Pre-Chorus] Cutting budgets, raising demands “Do it cheap, I’ll leave it to you” — the curse of collapse Dignity crushed in the whirlpool of low wages Can you feel the heart behind the price? [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price? Who decided that "cheap is justice"? You want master-level work for minimal pay? That’s impossible. What kind of dream are you dreaming? Don’t push on others what you can’t do yourself If it’s not win-win for everyone, You’ll fall straight into the exploited side Finding the answer ain’t easy, though But “cheap and high-quality”? That’s the deadliest sin of all [Bridge] Improve! Produce! Challenge! — all for the Bright Vision But is there love or dreams shining beyond that line? The common folk, silent for 30 years The rulers who turned a blind eye Will we all fall into the same abyss? [Chorus] Who's crying behind that price?! (We don’t know!) Who's fading out behind that smile?! (We won’t ignore!) What is “true prosperity”? Isn’t the essence of work “gratitude”? Convenience isn’t guaranteed! (That’s right!) Peace isn’t guaranteed! (Protect it!) Smiles aren’t guaranteed! (Believe in them!) Life isn’t guaranteed! (Live it!) Behind the price tag, someone’s holding on A silent scream drowned in consumption’s song The courage to see the truth will shape our era Choose today — for the sake of tomorrow [Outro] Someone’s making money behind that cheap price Someone’s making money behind that cheap labor
