Japanese lyrics
死神たちは毎日　博打か昼寝さ

刺激も変化もなくて　死ぬほど退屈

たまに舞い降りて　人間を見るのさ

ロクな奴はいねえな　期待はずれ

ところが　キラ　キラ　なんて奴だ

まるで救世主　キラ

その正体は　ただのガキだ

死神たちは怠惰で　野心も夢もねえ

存在の意味もしらねえ　とにかくつまんねえ！

だから見ものだぜ　人間達が

お前の裁きに　右往左往

皆で　キラ　キラ　大騒ぎだ

神か悪魔か　キラ

その正体は　お前なのにな

自分が世界を変えたと思うな

教えてやるぜ　変わったのは名前だけだ

そうだろ？　キラ　キラ　救世主は

お前じゃない！キラ　キラ

人間達が　作り上げた……

サンキュー ベイベー

English lyrics
Where I come from is a world of bone and dust

No need to change, or readjust

Where the plight of human beings is ignored

And all I am, is always bored

So from time to time I visit

Seeking fun and self defense

It's no big deal, really, is it? And of no consequence

Except for Kira, Kira

Your brand new name

The masses cheering, Kira

Don't know it's Light Yagami, playing his dangerous game

Shinigami sit and gamble all day long

It isn't right, it isn't wrong

For there really isn't very much to do

So now and then, we spy on you

Humans are such funny creatures

Always thinking you're so smart

So we look down from our bleachers

While you tear things apart

Except for Kira, Kira

Your brand new name

The masses cheering, Kira

Don’t know he's Light Yagami, playing his dangerous game

The more things change they say

That the more they stay the same

You think you're making changes

But the only thing you can change is your name

Because it's Kira, Kira

Whose justice is rigged

Because it's Kira, Kira

Who makes a list of people

Whose names he'll write down and—

(spoken:)

Oh look, now there's an apple

(sung:)

Mind if I just take a bite?

(laughs)
