Throw It All Away
Toad the Wet Sprocket may be one of my all time favorite bands. I worship and reflect to their songs. I encourage you to get at least one of their CD's. These are the lyrics to Throw It All Way from way "back in the day".

take your cautionary tales
and take your incremental gain
and all the sycophantic games
and throw 'em all away
burn your t.v. 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 have been all right
and throw 'em all away

with the time i waste on the life i never had
i could have turned myself into a better man
there is nothing you can buy
there is nothing you can save
to fill the hole inside your heart
so throw it all away

help me to empty out this house
the wool i've gathered all these days
and thought i couldn't do without
and throw it all away
