+The song is 4 minutes, 40 seconds long. The majority of the song follows a familiar blending of electronics with bouncy metalcore riffs which The Ohayogozaimas is known for. The song opens with an electronic buildup before a drum count in brings the whole band in for the main riff and screamed vocals by Saba. The riff repeats for an instrumental passage with the drum work being scaled back to relieve a little bit of tension. After this, A buildup section starts with Saba and Nagi exchanging lines. The payoff for the build up is a calmer, rap instrumental section with some vocals by Saba interspersed throughout. It's followed by a pre-chorus which teases the chorus' melody, afterwards, the chorus is unleashed, repeating a single line. The song repeats from the instrumental main riff section, this time with an alternate guitar part for the buildup and Utsu-P rapping during the instrumental rap passage. After another repeat of the pre-chorus and chorus, The open notes hang as Nagi shouts out a long passage leading into the slow, crushing breakdown of the song. There is a short refrain section which is built off of the pre-chorus, and an alternate chorus build-up for the end of the song. The main riff plays one more time, and bookends the song with the bouncy metalcore riff and Saba screamed section from the beginning.

+Then there's the mean bosses, the complainers, the gerontocracy which harms society, proving their arguments wrong while staring straight at the camera\\
+Child, gyaru, foreigner, grandfather, grandmother, it captures the essence of what they all talk about\\

   * An original draft of this song included a riff which Utsu-P scrapped due to sounding too much like [[wiki:B'z|B'z]].
