Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Don't count on me
  • To let you know when
  • Don't count on me
  • I'll do it again

Echo the hook

  • I don't wanna waste my time
  • Become another casualty of society
  • I'll never fall in line
  • Become another victim of your conformity and back down
don'tneverbecome
