[Verse 1]
Naku koto mo warau koto mo dekinaku natte
Dore kurai tatsu darou?
USO wo itte sara ni USO kasaneru no wa
Nankaime darou?
Kono taikutsu de kyuukutsu na
Basho no DOKO wo boku wa hokoreba ii?
Shiite iu naraba boku ga boku no mama de
Itsudzukerareru koto!! sore gurai kana?!
TEREBI de miru noshiriai nagara no TALK wa
Marude kodomo mitai de
Mitomeatte tsugi ni susumu koto no hou ga daiji na ki mo suru kedo...
Heizen to hito ni muketa kotoba to iu na no kikanjuu wo
Uchimakuru anata wo mite soko de kizutsuku hito ga iyou to mo
I never want to try to stop it!
There is no one to try to stop it!!
Let it go!!!
Shinjitsu no kawari ni USO de hito ga shiawase ni naru nara
Dore dake no seigi ga kono yo de aku e to kawaru no kana?
La La La La La...
Should I take it to be happy?
Do you think that it is better way?

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese band with a punk-rock/hard rock style. As of 2018, the band comprises of Takahiro Moriuchi (vocals), Toru Yamashita (lead guitar), Ryota Kohama (bass), and Tomoya Kanki (drums).

The band’s name, ONE OK ROCK, comes from “one o'clock,” the time that the band used to practice on weekends. They chose this time because the rehearsal space was cheaper at this time. However, since the Japanese language made no distinction between R’s and L’s, they changed “O'CLOCK” to “O'KROCK,” which was then separated to become “OK ROCK”.

The band was formed by Toru when he was in high school. At the time the band was formed (2005), they neither had Taka on vocals nor Tomoya on drums. Both were in other bands at the time, and ONE OK ROCK was born when Toru recruited them into his band.
