Intro

 

Verse 1

Take your cautionary tales
and take your incremental gains
and all the sycophantic 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 

Chorus

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 

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

With the time I waste on a life I never had
I could've turned myself into a better man

Solo

Chorus

'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 

Ending

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
