Sounds Of Military Boots

It starts with the wake up shower in the morning.
You can't imagine their life if you only know your usual life.
The worst news is broadcast on TV over a piece of toast.
You are just lucky.

Terror gives us a kick in the back.
I'm sick of you telling lies.
You shouldn't imagine bullets being fired at you.

Slogans for war which we had never fought.
Do you know the true reason a hero is gone.

a hero is gone.

There is no reason why I should agree?
The sounds of military boots pollute the air in the streets.

The first victim is one of us.

But you willingly submit yourself.
There are hereditary politicians.
Democracy has become a bad joke.

Poverty makes people obedient.
Under the tyrant's rule blood is spilled in far away corners of the world
for the daily bread of soldier's families.
Anyone of us could be a victim.

Who said that courage is pulling the trigger?
Please think again. Think again. Think again.
This can happen to us, too.
It is searching for its first target.

軍靴の音

目覚めのシャワーから始まる朝
そんな常識しか知らなければ、彼らの生活なんて想像もできないだろう
トーストの向こうに見えるテレビから最悪な誰かのニュースが流れてる
君はただ運がよかっただけだ

恐怖が背中を押そうとしてる
お前の嘘は聞き飽きた
自分の体が撃ち抜かれるなんて、想像もできないはずだ

戦ったこともない戦争のスローガン
君はヒーローが死んだ本当の理由をしってるかい?

ヒーローが死んだ本当の理由を

俺には賛同する理由がないんだよ
サーベルと軍靴の音が街の空気を汚すんだ

最初に殺されるのは僕らのうちの誰かだ

だけど、君はまだ服従しようとしてる
世襲制の政治家たち
民主主義はタチの悪いジョークに成り下がった

貧困が服従を生む
世界の片隅では、暴君の支配のもと、家族の生活のため兵士の血が流れる
次は僕らのうちの誰かが犠牲者だ

引き金を引くことが勇敢だなんて、一体誰が言ったんだ?
もう一度、よく考えてみてくれ
もう一度、もう一度
これは他人事じゃない
そいつは、最初の標的を探してるんだ。
