[Verse 1]

One step forward, two steps backwards

Saving culture, killing art

You want borders, we just want a bridge

This is modern warfare, freedom in a ditch

Will you ever bother listening?

[Pre-Chorus]

Made in the land of the rising sun

Decade in the rain, proving who we are

Still under fire for the things we love

(Hey, just listen)

[Chrous]

We are the side effects

A product of love, a product of hate

We are the side effects

A product of heart, but make no mistake

No one asked for your love

No one asked for your hate

So we ask from the heart

Before it's too late, just let us be us

[Verse 2]

One step forward, two steps backwards

Saving culture, killing art

You want order, we just want to live

Endless civil warfare, something's got to give

Can we start this over rational?

[Pre-Chrous]

Made in the land of the rising sun

Decade in the rain, proving who we are

Still under fire for the things we love

(Hey, just listen)

[Chorus]

We are the side effects

A product of love, a product of hate

We are the side effects

A product of heart, but make no mistake

No one asked for your love

No one asked for your hate

So we ask from the heart

Before it's too late, just let us be us (Us, us)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Made in the land of the rising sun

Decade in the rain, proving who we are

Still under fire for the things we love

But it's time you listen

[Chorus]

We are the side effects

A product of love, a product of hate

We are the side effects

A product of heart, but make no mistake

No one asked for your love

No one asked for your hate

So we ask from the heart

Before it's too late, just let us be us
