Lyrics

English

Yeah drop the bomb!
Just drop the bomb!

Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system
Now or never's the time to resist 'em
It's easy to blast 'em all away
Pull a trigger, push a button, say ADIOS to today
Don't get me wrong, I'm a pacifist
The mind can do more than the fist
Explosives are NOT what it takes, you know
The terrorists always make these mistakes

What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools, invent 'em
Ride the wave of time! Come feel the rhythm!
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
Your brain is the generator of all mighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah, it's all ready to take that fall
It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb!

Yeah drop the bomb!
Just drop the bomb!
Let me see that bomb!

Learn from the sunken MU, ATLANTIS
And from the beheaded male praying mantis
The old gotta make room for what's now to come

What we gotta do is build momentum
If you need the right tools, invent 'em
Ride the wave of time! Come feel the rhythm!
The march to the future has begun, get with 'em
Your brain is the generator of all mighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour
Yeah, it's all ready to take that fall
And It's up to you to make that call

And if it don't work, make the real thang wipe it out
So drop the bomb!

Yeah drop the bomb!
Just drop the bomb!
Let me see you drop that bomb!

That bomb! That bomb! That bomb!

Japanese translation

化石並みに古い体制に飽き飽きだ 今抵抗しなけりゃ、いつするんだ 全て吹っ飛ばすのはたやすいことさ 引き金を引け、ボタンを押せ、今日にアディオス（さよなら）を言え 勘違いしないでくれ、オレは平和主義者だ 精神の方が拳より強いんだぜ 爆薬でやるんじゃないんだ、覚えておけ テロリストはいつもここを間違える まずは勢い（はずみ）をつけるんだ 道具が必要なら自分で発明しろ 時代の波に乗れ！リズムを体感しろ！ 未来への行進は始まったばかりだ、合流しろ！ お前の頭脳が全能のパワーを生むんだ 今やらなきゃ素晴らしい計画も腐ってしまう （爆弾は）落とされるのを待っている 爆弾を落とすかの判断を下すのはお前にかかっている そうだ、爆弾を落とせ！ とにかく爆弾を落とせ！ その爆弾を見せてくれ！ 沈んでしまったムー、アトランティスから学べ 首を切り落とされたオスのカマキリからもだ 新しく現れるものには古いものが道を譲れ まずは勢い（はずみ）をつけるんだ 道具が必要なら自分で発明しろ 時代の波に乗れ！リズムを体感しろ！ 未来への行進は始まったばかりだ、合流しろ！ お前の頭脳が全能のパワーを生むんだ 今やらなきゃ素晴らしい計画も腐ってしまう （爆弾は）落とされるのを待っている 判断を下すのはお前にかかっている それでもダメだったら、本物（の爆弾）に一掃してもらえばいいさ だから爆弾を落とせ！ そうだ、爆弾を落とせ！ とにかく爆弾を落とせ！ その爆弾落とすお前の姿を見せてくれ！
