[Verse 1]
I know they don’t like me that much
Guess that I don’t dress how they want
I just wanna be myself
I can’t be someone else
Try to color inside their lines
Try to live a life by design
I just wanna be myself
I can’t be someone else, someone else

[Pre-Chorus]
They yell, they preach, I’ve heard it all before
"Be this, be that", I’ve heard it before, heard it before

[Chorus]
Big boys don’t cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out, fit in

[Post-Chorus]
Stand out, fit in
Stand out, fit in

[Verse 2]
Lately, it’s been too much all day
Words shot like a cannon at me
I just wanna be myself
I can’t be someone else, someone else

[Pre-Chorus]
They yell, they preach, I’ve heard it all before
"Be this, be that", I’ve heard it before, heard it before

[Chorus]
Big boys don’t cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out, fit in

[Post-Chorus]
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in

[Bridge]
I am who I am, no matter what
Never changing, no matter what, no matter what

[Chorus]
Big boys don’t cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out, fit in
Big boys don’t cry
Shoot low, aim high
Eat up, stay thin
Stand out, fit in
Good girls don’t fight
Be you, dress right
White face, tan skin
Stand out, fit in

[Post-Chorus]
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in
Stand out fit in

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.
