[ONE OK ROCK「Renegades」歌詞]

[Verse 1]
Got a fire in my soul
I've lost my faith in this broken system
Got love for my home
But if we cry, is there anyone listening?

[Verse 2]
We're the forgotten generation
We want an open conversation
Follow me on this road
You know we gotta let go

[Pre-Chorus]
For all of the times that they said it's impossible
They built the hurdles, the walls, and the obstacles
When we're together, you know we're unstoppable now

[Chorus]
I'm not afraid to tear it down and build it up again
It's not our fate (Hey!), we could be the renegades (Renegades)
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again (Again), we could be the renegades (Renegades)

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]
They've been holding us down
They've been telling us to change our voices
But we're not part of that crowd
We made our bed and we'll make our own choices

[Verse 4]
We may be underestimated
But I know one day we will make it
Time to say it out loud
We are young and we're proud

[Pre-Chorus]
For all of the lies and the burden that they put on us
All of the times that they told us to just because
We gotta fight for our rights and the things we love now

[Chorus]
I'm not afraid to tear it down and build it up again (Up again)
It's not our fate (Hey!), we could be the renegades (Renegades)
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again (Hey!), we could be the renegades

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
We could be renegades

[Bridge]
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready to fly

[Chorus]
I'm not afraid to tear it down and build it up again
It's not our fate (Hey!), we could be the renegades
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again (Hey!)
We could be the renegades (We could be renegades)

[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(We could be the renegades) We could be renegades
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

ONE OK ROCK

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.
