|
Take your cautionary tales |
|
Take your incremental gain |
|
And all the sychophantic games |
|
And throw 'em all away |
|
Burn your tv in your yard |
|
And gather 'round it with your friends |
|
And warm your hands upon the fire |
|
And start again |
|
Take the story you've been told |
|
The lies that justify the pain |
|
The guilt the weighs upon your soul |
|
And throw 'em all away |
|
Tear up the calendar you've bought |
|
And throw the pieces to the sky |
|
Confetti falling down like rain |
|
Like a parade to usher in your life |
|
Take the dreams that should have died |
|
The ones that kept you lying awake |
|
When you should've been all right |
|
And throw 'em all away |
|
With the time i waste on the life i never had |
|
I could've turned myself into a better man |
|
'cause there ain't nothing you can buy |
|
And there is nothing you can save |
|
To fill the whole inside your heart |
|
So throw it all away |
|
Won't fill the whole inside your heart |
|
Help me empty out this house |
|
The wool i've gathered all these days |
|
And thought i couldn't do without |
|
And throw it all away |
