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 sold
the lies that justify the pain
the guilt the weighs upon your soul
and throw 'em all away
tear up the calendar you 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've died
the ones that kept your life 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
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 out this house
All i've gathered all these days
and thought i couldn't do without
and throw it all away
