Rivers Cuomo is not known to be of Irish descent, and the lyric “Maybe it’s because I’m Irish” is likely an allusion to a [https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=f7p1aanWF5Y a line from the 1994 film ''The Shawshank Redemption''], in which the (obviously African-American) character Red utters the same phrase. The song "[[Too Many Thoughts in My Head]]" (from the same album) also features a line from the film ("Boy found brains he never knew he had").

===English (Roughly translated)===
<poem>
Before the live
Demonstration passed
I want you to listen
That said
 
I listened
I quit right away
Everything
Too bad
 
Yes, that is also reality
What if I take it?
Was she good to tell a lie?
It's the real intention.
 
Under the light
Back view
It's different from usual
Did you change your hair?
 
Before cutting
You are
If you like
I said inadvertently
 
If you write the line, I'll read it
Yes, this is also reality
Take it
 
As a child
Honestly
I was told to live
Even so
</poem>
