TOAD THE WET SPROCKET Throw It All Away

Take your cautionary tales Take your incremental gain And all the sychophantic games And throw 'em all away Burn your TV in your yard [5] Gather 'round it with your friends And warm your hands upon the fire And start again Take the story you've been sold The lies that justify the pain [10] The guilt that weighs upon your soul And throw 'em all away Tear up that calandar you bought And throw the pieces to the sky Confetti falling down like rain [15] 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 been alright And throw 'em all away [20] With the time I wast on the life I never had I could've turned myself into a better man There is nothing you can by There is nothing you can say To fill the hole inside your heart [25] And throw 'em all away Help me to empty out this house The wool I gathered all these days And thought I couldn't do without And throw 'em all away [30]
