The break is up to whoever passes it on, I’ll say it on my own responsibility, This is fine, Rejoice, The first cut keeps the mistake inside and you drag the discomfort until you die, I wrote it in hiragana to leave room, Name Tag Talk, Make the subject clear, Tag the audience and it separates from black, Space remains after you stop, Explain everything and the distance of “oh, it’s a song” disappears, Even though it arrives through melody and situation, School is where you go to fall in love, If a kid who stays home hears it and wants to go, that’s enough, Say it straight and it becomes pressure, That’s why it’s a song, Better clear than a misunderstanding that turns into an incident or a dulling, But decide how far to make explicit and where to stop, Don’t compare me and not-me, Against Ito, Against Imagine, That comparison creates the sway, Kids are thinking inside that sway, It’s the singer’s job, Even if you declare you’re speaking for the lyricist, it still holds, Tick, Tock

[Intro] Prices went up Four times as high But people's wages Stayed the same The world still needs The work we do The skills are there The needs are too They need your help But cannot pay What a crazy world We live in today [Verse 1] Artificial intelligence Helped me see Something I had taken For reality People felt Something was wrong But carried on Pretending all along What they could afford They can't afford today Reality finally Got in the way More and more people Started to see What had been hiding In plain sight all along This happened here That happened there I traced the reasons Everywhere [Pre-Chorus] Question after question Going back and forth I finally saw What was underneath it all The limits on credit That we had designed Were part of the problem We'd left behind [Chorus] Someone set a limit Someone drew the line And suddenly a shortage Appeared by design When money runs short Just record the amount Remove the restriction Keep track of the account That's all we needed Don't stop what you do Keep on contributing Let rewards accrue Even when the numbers Fall below zero If you can keep working You can keep going One less reason To steal to survive One less reason To give up on life No need to pretend No need to overdo Just keep on living As naturally as you do [Verse 2] Outside of a game Why chase perfection? What were we hoping To find in that direction? A perfect hundred Means the game is through But life keeps moving With something left to do Almost eighty percent We call it JACK The rest is MARGIN The space we hold back Keep reaching forward Never be complete An unfinished journey Makes life worth living Money isn't The only reason People keep working Through every season Nurses and caregivers Helping someone through They can picture someone Feeling better too They want to be part Of making that real A natural human Reason to feel [Pre-Chorus 2] AI kept circling Back again Four thousand years Of financial chains Such a stubborn system To untangle and see The past kept shaping What the answer should be "Remove credit limits Then simulate again" Just like us humans Transformer follows Old familiar patterns Into tomorrow Bring back the subject Ask who decided The calculation changes When the facts are aligned I watched it happening Right before my eyes A different answer Began to arise [Chorus] When money is missing Just write minus down There's no need to stop When the numbers go down Keep your hands moving Keep doing your part If you can contribute There's no need to stop Money is a motive Behind so much crime Remove one reason One step at a time No need to pretend No need to push through So much could change From the things we undo [Verse 3] Imagine a house With a piece of land Who should receive it? Let's talk and understand Why should a price Decide what it's worth? Ten different people Ten different worlds Resources and borders Ownership and use We can separate The things we confuse Human activity Comes first in the flow Money is a record Of the things that we do [Final Chorus] If money runs short Record what's missing Don't stop the work Don't stop the living Even below zero We can carry on One less reason for crime When the barriers are gone No need to show off No need to pretend We don't need perfection To live without end Save perfect scores For the games we play Life is unfinished And that's okay Almost eighty percent Is enough to begin Leave room for MARGIN Let the future in Keep on pursuing What we haven't done The unfinished journey Has only begun [Outro] More smiles appearing One person at a time The people who notice Can start to change their lives Stop forcing yourself That's all you need Nothing more Nothing less Human activity Will never be done We're always in motion So keep moving on
