[Chorus]
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts

[Verse 1]
Follow the leader, leader, leader
I could never leave ya, I am a believer
I have been to see ya in every single region
I’ve been close enough that I could slash ya with a cleaver
I just really need ya, I could dice you up and keep ya
Stick you on my wall beside a photograph of Bieber
Take you out for walks, introduce you to ma people
Peter, Timothy, Alan and Uncle Kiefer
They’d really love to meet ya, can’t believe that soon I’ll meet ya
I’m gonna squeeze ya, I’ll put you in a sleeper
Take you home to Peterborough
Smoke some sour diesel bra
Ahh, Raff I’m so eager to meet ya

[Chorus]
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts

[Verse 2]
I really hope you’ll come back to ma house after the show
'Cause if you don’t, I’m afraid that I’ll die slow
I’ll hold my breath, tell these medics
There ain't no medicine ready enough to cure such an aching in my soul
My love for you is like no other love there is or ever was
I know your favourite sweets apple crumble or lemon tops
That fucking slut was ungrateful, I’d let you wear your socks
I’d fucking wear you to dinner like you’re a pair of Clogs
I’ve followed you since you were a flicker in your Mammy’s eyes
It’s a shame I can’t touch you like it’s Hammer Time
I probably shouldn’t have done what I did but now I’m fine
I’m sat here reading this letter cursin’ my camera time
I check myself in the mirror, I see my hands are tied
Can’t do the gig with a vest or an AK49
All The World’s A Stage, without my fans I’d die
Ay, so I’ll guess I’ll fucking walk the line

[Chorus]
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts

[Verse 3]
It’s so confusing, you’ve got colder, you’ve been using me
I bought you t-shirts and chocolate, I sent you jewellery
Look at what you doin me, I’m cryin’ over stupid shit
Your songs are not about me, I am taking back my jewellery
You’re such a fucking homophobe, I wish I never let you in
To think that I was thinking maybe I should let you live
I’m gonna blow up your family like I’m a terrorist
You were my hero, my Jesus and now you’re my nemesis
I’ll climb up on your terrace, menace into your fellowship
I’ll slit the throats of your relatives, shoot that Jess in the belly
Feed you heroin, I gave you everything
Now you’ll come to bed with me, forever you’re in debt with me

[Chorus]
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts

[Verse 4]
Is this P?
I got the letters you sent for me
St. Lukes is where you motherfuckin’ sentenced me
I just found your number, you’re the same one that’s been texting me
Stalkin’ me, there’s police outside your house, you’d better talk to me
Yeah, send ‘em in, this creepy cunt’s ignorin’ me
I think I hear something, wait wait
My name’s Paul, I’m a doorman, I wish my mum had aborted me
I’m divorced and I’m lost at the age of 43
I’m dressed awkwardly, people are always callin’ me Paula
Cause I like boys and I’m talkin’ about you constantly
Then I found out you were homophobic and it got me so mad
I exploded and decided your homophobia was not gonna wash with me
You were threatening to slaughter me, that’s all I need
I’ll always love you my idol, I guess that’s all from me
I’m at your door you see, now try ignorin’ me

Heyy you, get the fuck off me!
Get off me!
Heyyy!
[screams]

[Chorus]
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts
Follow the leader
To the ends of the earth
Follow the leader
I’ve been there from the birth
Follow the leader
I love all of your work
Follow the leader
Love you so much that it hurts
