Haste Makes Waste

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Ringo Shiina

A would-be creator's sudden self-talk
Aah, the temperature room's awful. It's got nothing to do with my job description
Everyone's favorite on-the-scene, close-up documentary
Recreating the final scene like that, aren't they drunk?
Just what kinda face should I make and what should I say? I'm sober
Lost in character

Etupirka-genic and progress-genic are perfect1
Nothing but shady voices as I thought. Loud people are so lame, I hate them
I can't look you straight in the eyes. It's so embarrassing, the other person's dead drunk
A wannabe stray kid

Geez, you're gonna entertain me by pretending to be speculative and bluffing?
There're only amateurs here
They're disrespecting even the famous sayings experts have struggled to come up with. Get your hands dirty if you wanna speak

If it's all written on your face, your mouth spitting up lies is crude
Don't talk about what you don't have as if you do
"Haste makes waste" they say. Work hard
Lost in pride

Eh! Character and intelligence for humor. If you want it, you've got no choice but to live
putting the other party first
Like an expert, keep silent to the end and achieve careful and quick quality
Hey! Sexuality, talent, charisma - you can't save a single person
with that kinda fluff
What is a professional? State it eloquently just with the job description
It's love, so to speak

* [1] - this line is difficult to translate at face value. It refers to "Etupirka", the theme song for the documentary show JOUNETSU - TAIRIKU and "Progress", the theme song for the documentary show Professional ~Shigoto no Ryuugi~. It also refers to the tufted puffin and the word "progress". It's speculated to mean along the lines of "All talk and speaking about ambition" in a sarcastic way
