Make It On My Own Lyrics

I don't know what's so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
In fact i'd rather get kicked out
Or even thrown out
My heros have always been flunkies and drunk
And telling lies
My heros have always been flunkies and their drunks
And their telling lies
that's righ'
If you wonder where i'm at
I'll be down by the railroad tracks
If you wonder when i'm comin' back
Don't wonder
I'm never comin' back
Never coming back
Never coming back
I'll make it on my own
And my heros have always been drunkies
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
I'd rather get kicked out
Or even thrown out
That's righ'
If you were offended when i dropped out
Well maybe you should be
Maybe you should be
If you wonder where i'm at
I'll be down by the railroad tracks
If you wonder when i'm comin' back
I'm never comin' back
I'm never comin' back
I'll make it on my own
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
And my heros have always been drunkies
And their telling lies
And their telling lies

I don't know what's so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
In fact i'd rather get kicked out
Or even thrown out
My heros have always been flunkies and drunk 
And telling lies
My heros have always been flunkies and their drunks
And their telling lies 
that's righ'
If you wonder where i'm at
I'll be down by the railroad tracks 
If you wonder when i'm comin' back
Don't wonder
I'm never comin' back
Never coming back 
Never coming back
I'll make it on my own
And my heros have always been drunkies
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
I'd rather get kicked out
Or even thrown out
That's righ'
If you were offended when i dropped out
Well maybe you should be
Maybe you should be
If you wonder where i'm at
I'll be down by the railroad tracks 
If you wonder when i'm comin' back 
I'm never comin' back
I'm never comin' back
I'll make it on my own
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
I don't know what you're so proud about
I'd rather make it as a drop out
And my heros have always been drunkies
And their telling lies 
And their telling lies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of the most profound Devils songs there is. Its an anthem for the 1%ers and freaks and weirdos and no- accounts. You don't have to cowtow to what society says, you can make it on your own. Fucking- A- right.
