THE OPPORTUNIST

Suddenly there's an opportunity
Empty and pointless
Like the girl who first gave birth to us
We didn't say we were willing
What is opportunity anyway?
For now I'm still not sure
But action is already like sharp lightning and raging wind

We don't have any experience at all
We don't like the past either
But we really believe if we keep at it
We will definitely get new results
We don't know if in life we need to be tricky
Or if in life we should work hard
Anyway things have already been restarted so we shouldn't be afraid of chaos

Ohhh…
If we have an opportunity we should demonstrate our desire
Ohhh….
If we have an opportunity we should show our strength
The truth is always in some distant place
The girls are always next to you
But when you’re facing them
You’re always in competition with them
Tomorrow I will keep being busy
Although it’s still pointless
It’s just that I want to pack in every opportunity
Just like clinging on to heaven
Friend – please come over and help out
But we’d prefer you don’t know too much
Because for this kind of work you only need perception and guts
Friend – I’ll give you a chance
Your first time to try handling business
Just like when you were eighteen
You were given a girl
Ohhh….
If we have an opportunity we should demonstrate our desire
Ohhh….
If we have an opportunity we should show our strength
