Written by Stewart Copeland (this is the version that appears in the 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!
