WELCOME TO THIS CRAZY TIME
Kono fuzaketa jidai e yōkoso
Kimi wa TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY
Dokomo kashiko mo kizu darake
Uzuku matte naitetemo hajimaranai kara
TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY, TOUGH BOY

Toki wa masa ni seikimatsu
Yodon da machikado de bokura wa deatta

KEEP YOU BURNING Kakenukete
Kono fuhai to jiyū to bōryoku no matta danaka
NO BOY NO CRY Susumanakya
Ikioi o mashita mukai kaze no naka o

WE ARE LIVING, LIVING IN THE NINETIES
WE STILL FIGHT, FIGHTING IN THE NINETIES...

Trivia

  • The album version and broadcast version actually have slightly different lyrics. The album version says "eighties" and TV version says "nineties". Also the lyric ikareta (イカレた crazy) was changed to fuzaketa (ふざけた goofy) for reasons of political correct oversensitivity to mental illness.
  • Major Sturmbannführer sings this at the end of a Hellsing OVA.
