Romaji by: cori

* Are you ready for system 2000?
Imagine all of us living as one
Are you ready for system 2000?
In a world that's soon to come

Sou ne min'na tsumi wo kakae ikiteru
Kitto sou ai wo mamoru tame datte

Sai'ai no hito no tame tatakai mo erabi itsuka kawarihajime
Kegasarete shimatta yurusarete shimatta

* repeat

We are the people of system 2000
We are the people of system 2000

Tsutaete wa ikenai

Kizutsukete kizutsukerarete kita rekishi nante mou iranai
Naze darou onaji hoshi no shita de ryakudatsu ya  saitsujin nante aru no?
Wakaranai wakaranai? Mirai wa kiteru

We are the people of system 2000
We are the people of system 2000

Are you ready for System 2000?
Imagine all of us living as one
