胎内の記憶を引きずって
昨日のハイボール引きずって
掛け布団のぬくもり引きずって
コンクリートを今日も引きずっている

とろくさいミスだったり
どうもなんなかった好意だったり
母校の関連ワード「事件」だったり

こんがらがって
わやになって 過去だって軍鶏だって引きずっている
わやになって 着飾ってやっぱ脱いだ事
そんな葛藤も あんな愚行も みんな引きずってしまう
わやになった 経緯、背負って 歴、抱いて
もう こんがらがって

横着こいてた事引きずって 「更生しました」つったって
やらなかん事やっとりゃせんから まー美談には なりゃせんわ

「時に必死こいて逃げようと やった事はほかれない」と
タイヤの下の腕が何かを 伝えようとしていた

こんがらがって
わやになって badだってbirdだって引きずっている
わやになって 苛ついてギラついて非行
そんな脱法も あんな犯行も みんな引きずってしまう
わやになった 経緯、背負って 歴、抱いて
もう こんがらがっている

わやになった わたしの過ちが轍になって
わやになった わたしの轍はいつしか標

こんがらがって
わやになって 総理だって鶏だって引きずっている
わやになって ボーイだってガール抱いて どーん
そんな禍根も あんなbadも みんな引きずってるから
わやになった 経緯、背負って 歴、抱いて
もう こんがらがってろ！！

Dragging behind my memories from inside the womb
Dragging along yesterday's highball
Dragging along my bed cover's warmth
Today too, I'm dragging along the concrete

Like those stupid mistakes
Like those favors that were really nothing much
And my alma mater's related word 「Incident」

It's getting all screwed up
Falling into ruin, I'm dragging the past and some game fowl behind me
Falling into ruin, I've been dressed up and I've been naked
That sorta conflict, That kinda folly, Dragging it all behind me
Falling into ruin, details, bearing the weight of that experience, holding it in my arms
It's still getting all screwed

Dragging behind me, dishonestly saying 「I'm reformed」
I didn't do all the things that needed to be done, So it's not gonna be a very moving story

「You can try to run away from the inevitable, but it doesn't change what you've done」
The arm underneath the tire was trying to tell me something

It's getting all screwed up
Falling into ruin, I'm dragging the bad and the bird behind me
Falling into ruin, Getting pissed off, glaring, and misconduct
Because I'm dragging that sort of evasion of the law, That kinda crime
Falling into ruin, details, bearing the weight of that experience, holding it in my arms
It's still getting all screwed up

Falling into ruin, My faults turn into ruts
Falling into ruin, before I realized, my rut had become a mark on me

It's getting all screwed up
Falling into ruin, I'm even dragging along the prime minister and chickens behind me
Falling into ruin, Even boys holding girls, Boom!
Because I'm dragging that sorta root of all evil, and that kinda bad things behind me
Falling into ruin, details, bearing the weight of that experience, holding it in my arms
Get screwed up！！
