This World is Full of Whack and Mystery!

ummary of the Story：
She notices two suspicious men standing right outside her home in Japan. Soon after, they knock on her door claiming to be police officers, but her clever three-year-old child warns her to call the police station and verify their IDs. To her surprise, the police station tells her they have no idea who the two men are.

As it turns out, they were actually undercover cops on a secret stakeout across the street, and the precinct had lied over the phone to protect the mission! A few weeks later, the operation culminates in a massive, chaotic police raid and a wild shootout. Clutching a frying pan, the mother watches the whole thing from the safety of under her table.

In the end, she finishes her story, leaving us to wonder whether any of it was ever actually true.

Lyrics:
This is a story from back in the day,
when they still used to say I looked like "Liz"… you know,
Elizabeth Taylor? Aha. Hit it, boys!
[Verse 1]
Early in the morning, washing the clothes,
Packing up a lunchbox, watching the kid go.
Finally took a breath, went upstairs to the room,
Opened up the curtains, and what do I see through the gloom?
Two shifty-looking fellas, standing right outside!
"What the hell you boys doing down there?!" I cried.
I let out a roar, standard military grade—
Those two looked at each other, and like scared little dogs, they began to fade!
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
[Verse 2]
So I go back to hanging my laundry…
You know how humid it gets in Japan, right? You gotta dry 'em outside! Even a Hollywood lookalike's gotta do the chores!
Then suddenly—Ding-Dong!—the doorbell rings.
My heart skipped a beat, thinking of all sorts of things.
Could it be those creeps coming back for a fight?
My three-year-old and I locked eyes, Sensing the goofy danger right outside.
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
Kept the chain on, cracked the door just an inch, "Police," they said, without even a flinch.
"Police?" I told my kid. But the little one knew!
Said, "Mama, no cop ever looked that shady to you."
"Mama, a badge is an easy guarantee.
Show me the ID! Ask for their names, call the station on the horn. See if these two clowns were actually born."
[Spoken]: Hold on a minute… You’re three years old!
Where did you learn that?!
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
[Verse 3]
So I dialed the station, asked 'em straight and plain,
They said, "Nope, we ain't never heard of that name!"
I yelled through the door, "You liars better run,
Or I’m calling the real cops, one by one!" Then they panicked, whispering through the screen, "Ma'am, please! We are the real cops on the scene!"
…Found out later on, you see.
When it's an active stakeout, the precinct plays it tight.
They’ll deny their own men just to keep the ghost out of sight!
What a total headache! Boys, give me some sugar!
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
[Bridge]
Those fake-looking cops, they started to explain,
They were staking out the apartment across the lane.
It’s a crazy world out there, lord have mercy, it's true.
They said, "If you keep shouting,the perp’s gonna skedaddle!
So pretty please, lady, just shut your trap, will you?"
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
[Verse 4]
A few weeks later, guess what went down?
A massive raid at that apartment, biggest bust in town!
Ten squad cars pulled up, sirens screaming in tune, A straight-up shootout like the wild-west noon!

I grabbed my frying pan, ducked under the table,
Watching the action, stable as I was able! Woo! What a show!
( "Who cares what's true or false anyway~")
[Outro]
You think this story is a lie? Well, honey… Whether it's a lie or the truth, that ain't very Jazz to overthink it, is it? Ahahaha!
Come to think of it, I had another name people called me back then. Yeah, they said I looked just like… "Grace Kelly ."
So I called myself "Gracie Bird." Did I really look like a movie star?
Or was it just the humidity playing tricks? Is it a lie, or is it the truth? Well… who gives a damn anyway?
Just let the smoke fade, baby! Who cares!
