Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Look, once upon a time, 정해진 것들이 있대

Look, once upon a time, jeong-hae-jin geos-deul-i iss-dae

규칙들을 깨부수는 action, 반전 있는 baddie

gyu-chik-deul-eul kkae-bu-su-neun action, ban-jeon iss-neun baddie

원한다면 가지는 게 나만의 rule

won-han-da-myeon ga-ji-neun ge na-man-ui rule

막아서면 다칠지도 몰라 (ah!)

mak-a-seo-myeon da-chil-ji-do mol-ra (ah!)

Bang, crash, oops, you better run (ha-ha, ha-ha)

네 예상보다 조금 naughty (hey)

ne ye-sang-bo-da jo-geum naughty (hey)

Pow, splat, 짓궂어 난

Pow, splat, jis-gut-eo nan

Better get out of my way

I'm a bulldozer, 기회 줄 때 어서

I'm a bulldozer, gi-hoe jul ttae eo-seo

도망가, 난 보기보다 참을성이 없어

do-mang-ga, nan bo-gi-bo-da cham-eul-seong-i eop-eo

I'm your poet, I'm your pain

시작하면 멈추는 법 따윈 없는 brake

si-jak-ha-myeon meom-chu-neun beop tta-win eop-neun brake

I'm a bulldozer, 거침없이 closer

I'm a bulldozer, geo-chim-eop-i closer

모든 걸 다 망가트릴 내 모습이 보여

mo-deun geol da mang-ga-teu-ril nae mo-seup-i bo-yeo

I'm your poet, I'm your pain

감당할 수 없다면 넌 그쯤하고 back, ayy

gam-dang-hal su eop-da-myeon neon geu-jjeum-ha-go back, ayy

What can I break? (What?)

What can I break? (Uh, yeah, yeah)

What can I break? (What?)

What can I break? (Bulldozer)

What can you break? (What?)

What can you break? (Hm, maybe you can't)

What can you break? (What?)

What can you break? (Bulldozer)

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, I told ya

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, I'll bulldoze ya

헷갈린 적 없어 target, 물었다 하면 난 놓지 않아

hes-gal-rin jeok eop-eo target, mul-eoss-da ha-myeon nan not-ji an-a

그게 나니까 (가뿐히 handle it, handle it)

geu-ge na-ni-kka (ga-ppun-hi handle it, handle it)

방심하는 그 순간 귓가에 속삭인 growling

bang-sim-ha-neun geu sun-gan gwis-ga-e sok-sak-in growling

Sorry, you got in my way

I'm a bulldozer, 이 다음은 없어

I'm a bulldozer, i da-eum-eun eop-eo

서둘러, 난 보기보다 참을성이 없어

seo-dul-reo, nan bo-gi-bo-da cham-eul-seong-i eop-eo

I'm your poet, I'm your pain

시작하면 멈추는 법 따윈 없는 brake

si-jak-ha-myeon meom-chu-neun beop tta-win eop-neun brake

I'm a bulldozer, 한계까지 closer

I'm a bulldozer, han-gye-kka-ji closer

모든 게 다 헝클어질 네 모습이 보여

mo-deun ge da heong-keul-eo-jil ne mo-seup-i bo-yeo

I'm your poet, I'm your pain

감당할 수 없다면 넌 이쯤에서 back, ayy

gam-dang-hal su eop-da-myeon neon i-jjeum-e-seo back, ayy
