Throw It All Away
Toad The Wet Sprocket

          
Take Your Cautionary Tales
              
and take your incremental gains
                              
and all the sycophanic games
                 
and throw it 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 sold
                            
the lies that justify the pain
                                    
the guilt that weighs upon your soul
                     
and throw 'em all away

            
tear up the calendar you bought
           
throw the pieces to the sky
         
confetti falling down like rain
                                   
like a parade to usher in your life
         
take the dreams that should've died
                               
the ones that kept you lying awake
                                
when you should've been alright
                      
and throw 'em all away
                                   
With the time I waste on a life I never had
                                     
I could?ve turned myself into a better man

Solo(Verse)
                 
?cos there ain?t nothing you can buy
                        
there is nothing you can save
                                
to fill the hole inside your heart
                    
so throw it all away
                                    
won?t fill the hole inside your heart


help me to empty this house

the wool I?ve gathered all these days

and thought I couldn?t do without
                
and throw it all away
