The kanji is 贅沢, which is usually pronounced "zeitaku," but 
that doesn't sound like what Shiina Ringo is singing.

07. 現実を嗤う (genjitsu wo warau)
Romaji by: cori

you say those proverbs as if you had contrived them
i know your arrogance, but do not point it out
and youﾕve not changed a bit in three long dismal years
i think your flaw isnﾕt so much your fault as a charm
maybe i will meet you one day, maybe Wednesday, maybe not・・・
still, i'm sure to meet you anyway, maybe Thursday, maybe not・・・

i want to be you
just like a leaf that has flown away with the wind and the rain
this ﾒromanceﾓ is so mellow, and ﾒso realﾓ
just like a song that has died away with a flash in the night
i would like to be composed of you

you tell your stories as if you had no respect for anyone
i sing my songs as if I were a prostitute
you take a snap at me, and stuff yourself on my welfare
i feel like i am clinging to a cloud
maybe I will kiss you slowly, maybe quickly, maybe not・・・
still, iﾕm sure to kiss you anyway, maybe sweetly, maybe not・・・

i want to be you
itﾕs hard to spend a lifetime for myself with the quakes and the storm
this ﾒromanceﾓ is an error, and ﾒsurrealﾓ
itﾕs clear that i love your insensitiveness like the hills and the sky
i would like to be merged into you

Romaji by: cori
[cori's note: I have no idea is the lyrics of this song is 100% correct
because the singing is just so distorted & fast that it's impossible to 
understand wtf she's singing.  Is she using a kazoo? =/]
