about
Lick-G has released a new song, Olympic Summer, immediately responding to the current critical situation surrounding the Tokyo summer Olympics. The timely track is distributed free of charge. This new song samples the title track from the recently reissued 1987 album "Kenka Oyaji” by Hoodoo Fushimi, who is Lick-G's father. The lyrics for Kenka Oyaji described the world 34 years ago, but the situation has not improved, prompting Lick-G to write his own song for the world today.
Olympic Summer is written mainly in Japanese, but incorporates English lyrics to give non-Japanese listeners an idea of what is happening in Japan right now.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
これが戦争なら東京はもう火の海だ
そこに油注ぐなんて正気か？
小説より奇なり 腐った組織内
You don't give a damn if we die
感染者が増えても気にしない
地獄の沙汰だってカネ次第
大金を集めて スーツケースに詰めて
責任をそこらへんにポイ捨てして we fly
だろ？お前のその計画
これはまるでhate crime
俺の我慢も限界
どうせ声を上げない
おとなしいAsian
ならばどうにかなる
It is a freaking piece of cake, right?
自分の国ではどうせやんないのに
他人の国ではあぐらかくIOC
の会長に一言 賠償金は払わないよ
Good bye OG
[Hook]
人の命よりもpaper
の方がよっぽど大事なお前の計算
全くもって理解なら得れねえさ
五輪開催 It's getting too dangerous

[Verse 2]
Unexpected virus, we’re not the cause of it
That’s a big bloody fact, we all know it
Cold-blooded man’s asserting all the money
Should be paid by us, is this a freaking joke, buddy?
Why do we have to make up for it?
Let them clean the mess we’re not your bus boys
It’s so easy to guess they gave you stuffed toys
With some money in them just to make you a freaking hush boy
The world is the witness of your sickness
You just pissed us by inflicting it to the victim
Of the virus, it seems like
There's no vaccine for cash addiction
Money over people lives
I can see that in your evil eyes
"We do it for the athletes, all of them have dreams"
But for the Japanese, it's nothing but a bad dream
[Hook]
