On what is fair and what is not
The Quinceñera dress she bought
Was unstitched with bullets
All the guests in the garden screamed
Women and tires squealing
Such opulence, such misery
Unwinding, unwinding
(All I do) Is follow
(All I do) Just follow
(All I do) Is follow you around
(All I do) Is follow
(All I do) Just follow
(All I do) Is follow you around
Now you are how you were
When you were real
