テールランプが騒めく川辺に陽が溶けるまで
用もない顔した世間に流されちゃダメ

そんな日も 生き急ぐように きっと
ねえ boys and girls
教えてよ そっと 夢と希望
まだ はじまったばかり
We've got nothing

愛嬌のない社会に産まれた犬みたいにさ
「興味ない」みたいな言葉で切り捨てないでね all right

そんな日も 生き急ぐように きっと
ねえ boys and girls
教えてよ そっと 夢と希望
まだ はじまったばかり
We've got nothing

夕闇が背中から忍び寄って 君を捕まえて
「あの娘がうらやましい」
「アイツが妬ましい」とか こぼして
彼らと馴染めなくても
何かが正しい 僕らに相応しいこと 見つけて
それをギュッと握りしめて
嗚呼 いつか老いぼれてしまっても 
捨てずに 新しい扉を開こうか

We've got nothing
We've got nothing
We've got nothing

はじまったばかり
We've got nothing

It's just begun
We've got nothing

It's just begun
We've got nothing

It's just begun
We've got nothing

We've got nothing
