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!
