Take your cautionary tales   And take your incremental gain   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      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   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 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      There is nothing you can buy   And there is nothing you can save   To fill the hole inside your heart   So throw it all away      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
