message in a box complete transcriptions)
I never followed leaders
i got no machine
an' i paid my dues all along
always says your freakin'
when i mess with other people
'cause i knew that i was really alone
Fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
I saw my education
it was my indoctrination
just to be another parking machine
always says your freakin'
when i mess with other people
'cause i knew that i was not very clean
Fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
henri!
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out, fall out with all the leaders and guys
fall out!
And after listening to a lot of different live
versions (and the original!) this is what we
think the lyrics actually are. take your pick!
i never followed leaders
i've got my own team
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
Fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
I sold my education
it was my indoctrination
just to be another cog in the machine
always had to fake it
when i mixed other people
'cause i knew that i was not very clean
Fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
henri!
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out, fall out all the leaders and gangs
fall out!
