Fifteen hours of the parties to drink on
\nFourteen shots and another to take home
\nsoredemo mada monotarinai     daiji na mono ga mitsukaranai
\njimange ni monogatari     sukoshi mo miryokuteki ja nai<\/p>\n

kare wa iroke wo o-kane de katteru     isogashii to ii nagara asonderu
\nsoredemo tada monotarinai     daiji na mono miotosu bakari
\ndareka ni hyouka wo sareru yori     jibun no michikiri hirakitai<\/p>\n

konna BIJINESU     nan no tame ni?
\nkimagure kyoumi     furimawasarete
\ntsukaisute ni     naranai you ni
\nhataraku kyou ni     anata dake no kachi wo<\/p>\n

tasuuketsu dakara nanimo ienai     sekkaku no kosei mo ikasarenai
\nsore ja nanimo hajimaranai     hito ni sekinin oshitsuketagari
\nchuumon ya monku tsukeru yori     anata ga yatte mitekudasai<\/p>\n

konna BIJINESU     nan no tame ni?
\nkimagure kyoumi     furimawasarete
\ntsukaisute ni     naranai you ni
\nWhat would be left of this when this party is over?<\/p>\n

Party is over     Party is over<\/p>\n

omoiegaku yume ya risou wa     omou yori sugu jikken kanou
\nanata ga ganbatteru koto     hitotsu mo muda ni naranai<\/p>\n

konna BIJINESU     demo hontou wa
\no-kane de kaenai mono motometeru
\nkyou no fujouri     kaeru tame ni
\nhataraku kyou ni     anata dake no kachi wo<\/p>\n

I know that you’re tired of this,
\nbut this life is your BIJINESU
\nI know that you’ll lose yourself if I take it away
\nWhat would this lead to you? [1]
\nWhat would you want from this?
\nWhat would be left of this when this party is over?<\/p>\n

Party is over     Party is over<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

English translation<\/h2>\n
\n\n

\tFifteen hours of the parties to drink on
\n\tFourteen shots and another to take home
\n\tBut there’s still something missing     something important you can’t find
\n\tThis boastful tale     isn’t one bit attractive\t<\/p>\n

\tHe buys appeal with money     claiming he’s busy while fooling around
\n\tBut something’s still missing     many important things overlooked
\n\tIt’s not so much being judged by others     than just wanting to free up his own blockaded road<\/p>\n

\tWhat’s the purpose of this business?
\n\tYou’re working now so your own worth
\n\twon’t be subject to another’s whim,
\n\tUsed and discarded<\/p>\n

\tBecause this is majority-rules, you can’t even make use of your individualism
\n\tSo nothing can be done.     But rather than thrusting responsibilities on others,
\n\tmaking warnings and complaints, please try things yourself<\/p>\n

\tWhat’s the purpose of this business?
\n\tIn order to not be subject to another’s whim,
\n\tUsed and discarded,
\n\tWhat would be left of this when this party is over?<\/p>\n

Party is over     Party is over<\/p>\n

\tYour dreams and ideals     can be realized faster than you think
\n\tWhat you’ve been working so hard at     won’t go one bit to waste<\/p>\n

\tBut, the truth about this business is
\n\tYou’re trying for something that money can’t buy
\n\tYou’re working today, so your own worth
\nCan change the injustices of today<\/p>\n

\tI know that you’re tired of this,
\n\tbut this life is your business
\n\tI know that you’ll lose yourself if I take it away
\n\tWhere would this lead you to? [1]
\nWhat would you want from this?
\n\tWhat would be left of this when this party is over?<\/p>\n

Party is over     Party is over<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

==========
\n[1] Original sentence: “What would this lead to you?” <\/p>\n

It is grammatically correct, but semantically ambiguous. I used Rie fu’s Japanese translation (\u3053\u3053\u304b\u3089\u3069\u3053\u3078\u7e4b\u304c\u308b\u306e\u304b: koko kara doko e tsunagaru no ka) to rephrase it probably closer to how she meant it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
