LAY - 苦行僧 (Ascetic Monk) (English Translation)
[Verse]
Even as an ascetic monk for decades
There's still light in my heart
Uh, I've never met someone the same as me
Everyone laughs at the hardships I have endured
Impetuous and hesitating but having a great time
Even as an ascetic monk for decades
There's still light in my heart
I've never met someone the same as me
No onе can endure the hardships I havе endured
I'm having a great time alone on the top of the mountain

[Chorus]
Leave all the fame
Leave all the fake
A mixed world of the good and bad guys laugh at me drunk
Leave all the fame
Leave all the fake
But all the people in their right minds are pretending to be asleep
Leave all the fame
Leave all the fake
I broke the shackles telling me what I have to be
Leave all the fame
Leave all the fake
Who cares about them?
[Post-Chorus]
Now keeping it moving, yeah, yeah
Just keeping it moving, yeah, yeah
Just keeping it moving
Moving fast, yeah
Moving past, yeah
You gon' laugh
You gon' sad
You gon' mad, yeah

[Refrain]
Oh, I did it
Oh, I did it
They can't understand it
So they all hate it
You shouldn't be allowed to look at me with those dull eyes
I'll ignite the fire that you will never extinguish
I burn (Yeah, yeah)
Raise your head and wait and see
Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb on purpose (Yeah, yeah)
I'll change how we play this game
