Lyrics

Fall Out

[Verse 1]

I never followed leaders

I've got no machine

And I've paid my dues all along

Always had to fake it

When I mixed with other people

'Cause I knew that I was really alone

[Chorus]

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

[Verse 2]

I sold my education

It was my indoctrination

Just to be another cog in the machine

Always had to fake it

When I mixed with other people

'Cause I knew that I was not very clean

[Chorus]

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

[Solo break]

Henri!

Woo!

[Chorus]

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

Fall out

Fall out with all the leaders and gangs

[Outro]

Fall out
