Anly, a 22-years old singer-songwriter in Japan, appeared on the stage of a joint gig "Rude-α presents “TEEDA vol 5” in Shibuya. She wrote this song when she was a high school student. She had to claim every month that her brown hair was natural, not dyed against the school regulation. The unreasonableness she felt and her strong message "Natural is beautiful, individuality is to be respected" are well represented in both the soulful song & guitar play with looper pedals.
It is so difficult for a fan to translate the lyrics to English as Anly wishes to tell.
But I tried and put them as follows. The words are in general based on literal translation. Please do not believe all. It is unofficial. Just for your reference.

MANUAL / Anly
Swayed by common knowledge and rules
And using his thick-headed brain
A “manual man” sometimes says so frightening things that hurt a person
Please keep to the regulations
You can see what is written here, can’t you?
Dye your hair black
Since your brown hair is outstanding
Is that what you want to say?
Is that what is written in your handbook?
You want me to be a teacher's pet?
I can shave my head to become a skin-head girl
Hey Hey watch me carefully
Why Why Why can’t you see?
Your black hair, skin color, tall stature, and country dialect
All of them are so lovely
You are the one, talented existence in the world
Look hard at things without saying annoyances
World is so beautiful even without things made uniform
Sense of values unperceptive to a matter of course
Cannot leave looping rules
A “manual man” is so pitiful
He seems to forget to think
Stop staring at me
'Cause it is so irritating
What? I need to bring a certificate?
Don’t tell me such jokes, please
You still complain of my DNA
Even though I show the top of my head to you who just obeys
Hey Hey watch me carefully
Why Why Why can’t you see?
My brown hair, eye color, short stature, and island dialect
All of them are so lovely
I love myself as I am now
I do not change, I cannot change
Look hard at things without saying annoyances
World is so beautiful even without things made uniform
Don’t touch me so familiarly
My hair gets spoiled from there
Stop staring at me
My hair and heart are both worn out
As I get older I can understand a bit what an unreasonable person tells
But “correctness” is not always correct
Your black hair, skin color, tall stature, and country dialect
All of them are so lovely
You are the one, talented existence in the world
My brown hair, eye color, short stature, and island dialect
All of them are so lovely
I love myself as I am now
I do not change, I cannot change
Look hard at things without saying annoyances
World is so beautiful even without things made uniform
