I searched for a bench all day long
My legs are about to break from walking
The sunlight shines on the avenue
But I can't do anything at all
Don't deceive yourself anymore
There's no hope here at all
The red banner on the wall
No one thinks it's beautiful
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I found a new place
An abandoned amusement park
Wanted to make it my home
But it belongs to that country
Don't ask me what I want to do
Come join us quickly
Tear down that red banner
Replace it with colorful graffiti
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I searched for a bench all day long
My legs are about to break from walking
The sunlight shines on the avenue
But I can't do anything at all
Don't deceive yourself anymore
There's no hope here at all
Born in the early twenty-first century
I can't find anything here
Finally found this place
Wawa and Yaya's playground
Here is what I've been looking for
Sunshine from the beginning of the century
I just want to die in this place
When the sunlight envelops me
But I'm the only one here
Give me a ticket
Let's paddle together
There are quite a few jerks in the park
What else can I say to you
Join this happy amusement park
Jerks are not allowed in
Everyone come play together
This place is really fun
This place is really fun
This place is really fun

操场(Playground)

I've imagined a million times in my mind
Beating them all until they're bruised and bleeding
I see a group of people
I see a group of people
Every time I see them
I want to knock them down
They have no thoughts
And don't have to think about anything
Baring their teeth and grinning
Become the pillars of the era
I don't want to find a new target for hatred
But basketball accidentally became my enemy
I see a group of people
I see a group of people
Every time I see them
I want to knock them down
They have no thoughts
And don't have to think about anything
Baring their teeth and grinning
Become the pillars of the era
I can never beat them
I can never beat them
I can never beat them
Because they're taller than me
I can never beat them
I can never beat them
I can never beat them
Because they're taller than me
I want to find a quiet place
But the words on the wall can never be erased

北京涂鸦(Beijing Graffiti)
02:22
|

There's only one month left in the 10's
I saw graffiti on the street, painted by Zato
Beijing's winter is still the same as before
But for the first time, I find it quite beautiful
Slides, merry-go-rounds, and seesaws remain the same
But I, who am here, will never be the same again
Sitting on the swan, whispering to it
I don't have to worry about what tomorrow will bring
Oh, come and dance with me, come and dance a dance with me
Oh, come and come and dance with me
They think all of this is just as it should be
Twisted and trampled, why can't I escape
My fist hits the tree trunk, I've suffered soft tissue damage
Anyway, there's not a single part of me that's good
How I wish to secretly throw a burger to a homeless man
But it won't save him, so I just have to give up
We're all people lacking pleasure in the same way
After this week, I'll stay at home forever
Oh, come and dance with me, come and dance a dance with me
Oh, come and come and dance with me
Oh, come and dance with me, come and dance a dance with me
Oh, come and come and dance with me
Oh, come and dance with me, come and dance a dance with me
Oh, come and come and dance with me
Oh, come and come and dance with me

无脚狗(Dogs Without Feet)
03:09
|

I'm a dog, I've never had legs
I'm tied to a pillar under the bridge every day
The big red school bus passes by me daily
The one on the bus, like me, has no legs
They have dreams, they have hopes
I have nothing but blind optimism and illusions
I've questioned myself countless times why I have no legs
No answer, I can only wait for physical death
Now I'm lying on the ground
Eating my fresh feed
Day after day, no one comes to save me
Perhaps you won't see me next year
Winter has passed, spring has arrived
The one on the school bus has long since disappeared
I'm still tied to that pillar under the bridge
Today passes, and I still won't see the light tomorrow
They have wings, they can fly
I was born wearing heavy shackles
I have nothing but my pathetic illusions
lingering on in a feeble state until hope arrives someday
Now I'm lying on the ground
Eating my fresh feed
Day after day, no one comes to save me
Perhaps you won't see me next year
Now I'm lying on the ground
Eating my fresh feed
Day after day, no one comes to save me
Perhaps you won't see me next year
Perhaps you won't see me next year
Perhaps you won't see me next year
Maybe you won't see me tomorrow

When filth becomes a merit
I see hatred flowing outward
Something shrouds me
I feel like there's nowhere to go
Just like when the whole nation celebrates
Planes fly over my neighborhood
Can't shoot them down
I feel powerless
Bars, live houses, screening event, all the places they gather
Your presence is always there
You're always desperately seeking all things noble
To fill that emptiness within
Inadvertently, you pick up
That almost finished cigarette butt
You say it's not just ordinary
It's the kind used by rock stars
You have to enshrine it at home
Burning incense from time to time to remind yourself
How well-matched you are
The human civilization you worship
Bars, Live House, screening event, all the places they gather
Your presence is always there
You're always desperately seeking all things obscene
To fill that emptiness within
Music, literature, and artistic films
You're always interested in everything
You yearn to learn something from here
Great, noble, superficial things
And your blindly soaring passion
Don't come any closer
My eyes have been gouged out
Bars, Live House, screenings, all the places they gather
Your presence is always there
You're always desperately seeking all things obscene
To fill that emptiness within
Music, literature, and artistic films
You're always interested in everything
You yearn to learn something from here
Great, noble, superficial things
And your blindly soaring passion
Don't come any closer
My eyes have been gouged out

Born in a boring times
The dense text before me I don't understand
Born in a boring times
The colorful images I see I don't understand
Watching the party that doesn't concern me
Buried in the filthy crowd
Watching the turmoil that doesn't concern me
I don't want to understand anything
Born in a boring times
You're passionate about documenting your great times
Born in a boring times
All the dirty bands own this times
Watching the celebration that has nothing to do with me
Quietly walk away on your own
Watching the turmoil that has nothing to do with me
Leave the times behind you

死朋友(Dead Friend)
04:14
|
|||
|
This song is dedicated to a friend who has been dead for a long, long time
After he died, I could never find that place again
Remember when we talked all night until dawn together
No matter how much I drank, I still can't dream of her
Tonight, I still haven't seen that California girl
Revolution, philosophy, dreams, Tao Mi Zhou Mo, utopia
Those were the most passionate moments of my life
As winter is about to leave me behind
I never want to see you again in the summertime
But you finally raised your hands and covered your eyes
And dozens of kilometers later, you died forever on my back
When you cut off your middle finger in front of me
And then lifted the knife towards me
I realized that you died forever in the summer of 2018

惊叹号(Exclamatory Marks)
02:48

Why are beautiful people so rare
Where else should I go to find them
All the exclamation marks I've met before
Eventually turned into mere symbols
Magical people are always too small
Slapped and flattened into symbols
Near-sighted people are right beside me
They will never see
When all the exclamation marks are facing downward
What won't fall
First, second, third
Is there a fourth?
Broken symbols become a collection
In the deepest part of my drawer
I can't forget the way they looked after they died
Reminding me of the most tragic truth
The reason can never be found
Just like a big foot stepping on your head
I have long forgotten where to escape
Stop trying to find that place
When all the exclamation marks are facing downward
What won't fall
First, second, third
Is there a fourth
You and I won't fall
Only we know
Please engrave this sentence
On my tombstone

一群人(A Group of People)

I want to find a group of people
Where is the group of people I am looking for
I want to find a group of people
A group of people
All the people gather together
All the people are just together
Nothing is more beautiful than you all
I want a group of beautiful people
But all I can see is another group of people
Should I keep looking for a group of people
A wanted notice attracts ten thousand people
Ten thousand missing person notices can't find one person
Where is the group of people I am looking for
A group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
A group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
A group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
A group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
I want to find a group of people
A group of people

All of my deceased friends awaken
Let's gather together
Your faces are still so young
I will never forget
We got on a beautiful car
And died together in the crash
So we will never die
But this was just a beautiful dream that I must forget
My beautiful friends turned into ugly corpses
Don't let their bodies hold you back
Because I still have to move forward
I am old but still young
I am old but still young
I am old but still young
I am old but still young

新篇章(A New Chapter)
04:12

Today, the lake in the park is very calm
But I can no longer suppress
Where are you, the one in my fantasy
You only exist in missing persons ads
You ask, if the new world will never come
Why do we still stay here
If we'll die tomorrow
Let's sing out loud, right here and now
Just like I'm standing here now
But not knowing where to go
Where are you now, who's already gone
I guess I can't keep looking for you
You ask, if the new world will never come
Why do we still stay here
If we'll die tomorrow
Let's sing out loud, right here and now
A new chapter begins in the new world
You don't need to be lost anymore
Hand in hand, let's dance with wild abandon
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go
After all the turmoil and bloodshed
Is there anything worth believing in
Leave everything behind in the old world
Don't cry for them anymore
You ask, if the new world will never come
Why do we stay here
If we'll die tomorrow
Let's sing out loud, right here and now
A new chapter begins in the new world
You don't need to be lost anymore
Hand in hand, let's dance with wild abandon
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go
A new chapter begins in the new world
You don't need to be lost anymore
Hand in hand, let's dance with wild abandon
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go
A new chapter begins in the new world
You don't need to be lost anymore
Hand in hand, let's dance with wild abandon
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go
Fruit Worm Roller Coaster, let's go

Today's sun in the sky
Just like at the beginning of the century
The place where the sunlight shines
Is only me and my amusement park
Throw away all your troubles
Go back to that original place
Put on beautiful clothes
And the sunlight will shine on you too
All the beautiful friends gather together
Don't be stingy with your smile
Under that fiery red sun
There's only me and our amusement park
Giving you a brand new ticket
How beautiful these colorful sights before you
Sitting on a dilapidated rickshaw
The monkey pulling the rickshaw is reflected in golden light
Finally no need to search anymore
There's no better place like this anymore
You can play to your heart's content
And not worry about it being torn down
All the beautiful friends gather together
Don't be stingy with your smile
Under that fiery red sun
There's only me and our amusement park
Today's sun in the sky
Just like at the beginning of the century
The place where the sunlight shines
Is only me and my amusement park
Finally no need to search anymore
There's no better place like this anymore
You can play to your heart's content
And not worry about it being torn down
Today's sun in the sky
Just like at the beginning of the century
The sun at the beginning of the century
Became today's sun

The Burgers Glasgow, UK
The Burgers originated from Beijing, starting as Zac Joe‘s solo bedroom project. He started writing songs and producing them
all in his bedroom from beginning of 2020.
In November 2023, Zac ran away to Glasgow, UK, unable to bear the dirty rock music scene in China, which glorifies pseudo-profundity, promiscuity, and misogyny. In the beginning of 2024, The Burgers was formed as a band in Glasgow.
