위선과 가식으로 똘똘뭉친
Wrapped tight in hypocrisy and pretense
우리나라 좋은 나라
Our country, a good country
인류를 가장한 삼류투성이
Full of third-rate souls in the guise of humanity
나도 그 중 하나 뭐하나
I’m one of them, what am I doing?
진실된 것 없이 너 나
Without any sincerity, you and me
사람과 사람 사이마다
Between every person and person
왜 높고 두꺼운
Why is there a tall, thick
마음의 벽이 서나
Wall of the heart standing?
이성에 자연스레 눈뜰 나이에
At an age where I should naturally open my eyes to reason
짓밟혀 있다가
Trampled down and
뒤늦게 어색하게
Awkwardly awakening late
소개킹 미팅 부킹
Introducing, meeting, booking
무슨 동서분간 못하는
What’s with these idiots who can’t tell east from west
개들 짝짓나 애들 장난하나
Are dogs pairing up? Is this child’s play?
삼삼오오 머릿수 맞춰
Group by group, matching heads
일렬로 나란히 앉어
Seated in a straight line
저마다 지 잘난 맛에
Each one basking in their own glory
맘의 문을 잠궈 놓고
Locking the door to their hearts
남이 하면 요행 지가 하면 흥행
If others do it, it's luck; if I do it, it's fame
남이 하면 객기 지가 하면 용기
If others do it, it's bravado; if I do it, it's courage
이런 너저분한 생각들은
These messy thoughts
변기속에 담궈버려 너무 구려
Should be thrown into the toilet, they’re so foul
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
항상 점잖은 양반들은
The always genteel gentlemen
뒤에서는 호박씨
Behind the scenes, all gossip
까만 니 기름진 얼굴은 욕나온다
Your dark, oily face is disgusting
이런 씨 발끈하지 말고
So don’t get all riled up
움찔하지 말고 똑바로 살아다오
Don’t flinch, just live straight and true
어이 형씨 징그러운 그대들은
Hey dude, you creepy ones
다름아닌 아저씨
Are nothing but uncles
부적절한 발상 인위적인 행동
Inappropriate thoughts, artificial actions
반인륜적인 마음가짐
An inhumane mindset
속으로 좋아도 겉으로 삿대질하는
While secretly liking it, pointing fingers outward
당신들의 알량한 돈 몇 푼에
For your measly few bucks
혹하는 철없는 처자들 땜에
Foolish girls seduced by you
우리나라 물들어가 병들어가
Our country is fading, sickening
진짜 역겹다 저리 꺼져라
It's truly disgusting, just get lost
뒤늦게 철들어 흘릴 그들의 눈물
Their tears spilled when they finally wake up late
배가 되어 너희 눈에 피눈물
Turning your eyes into wounds of blood
지울 수 없는 인생의 오점을
The indelible blemishes of life
그냥 집어 먹는 고기 한점처럼
Swallowed like a piece of meat
생각하는 그대는
You who thinks this way
진짜 말 그대로 빵점
Are literally a total failure
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
언제나 매일밤 바보같이
Always foolishly every night
나도 몰래
Unbeknownst to me
언제나 매일밤 바보같이
Always foolishly every night
나도 몰래
Unbeknownst to me
언제나 니가 남보다 잘나서 니가
Always because you’re better than others, you
혼자서 니가
Alone, you
어떡하면 이익볼까
How can I profit from this
고민하는 니가
You who worries
왜 남을 위하는 듯
Why do you seem like you’re doing it for others
웃고 있는거야
Smiling away
약한 자를 짓누르고
Pressing down the weak
강한 자와 타협하는 니가
Compromising with the strong, that’s you
일등인거야
The number one
너의 고집 객기 아집
Your stubbornness, bravado, closed-mindedness
배타적인 니가
Being exclusionary
양지에선 신사
In the light, you’re a gentleman
음지에선 변태였던 니가
In the dark, you were a pervert
일등인거야
The number one
전통의 그 일부는
Part of that tradition
폐단의 계승인거야
Is an inheritance of flaws
멀쩡한 놈
A sane person
미친 놈 되는 세상인거야
In a world where one becomes insane
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be number one
Why you always wanna be
Why you always wanna be
