Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I never thought of leading. I've got my own machine, And I've paid my dues all along. All set for breaking. When I missed those other people, 'Cause I knew that I was really alone. Fall out. Fall out with all the leaders and gangs. Fall out. Fall out with all the leaders and gangs. I saw my education, It was my indoctrination. Just to be another parking machine. All my sense was breaking. When I missed those other people, 'Cause I knew that I was not very clean. Fall out. Fall out with all the leaders and gangs. Fall out. Fall out with all the leaders and gangs. Fall out!
