[Intro]
That's no excuse for your behaviour
You think you know it all don’t you?
You're twenty-five years old
You're a baby you don’t know shit

Look I know what's fair! Ok?
I know what's right

Look, I was young too, I felt just like you
I've put up with the tyrants, the yellers, the screamers
I've done more than you can even imagine in that small mind of yours!
So don't come preaching to me about your ideas of what's fair
You're no martyr here, you’re no hero
You’re just a fucking hypocrite

Because there are no story-book romances, no fairy-tale еndings
Because out herе, it's kill your parents, fuck your friends, and have a nice day!
So before you run out and change the world, ask yourself
"What do you really want?"

(Just call my name
You’ll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins)

[Chorus]
Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away
(Go ahead and throw your life away)

[Interlude]
What do you really want
What do you really want
What do you really want
What do you really want
(And on and on, And on and on)
Throw your life away
(And on and on, And on and on)
Throw your life away

[Chorus]
Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away

Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away
(Go ahead and throw your life away)

[Verse]
And I'm too unemployed to organize a union
I’m too intoxicated to tear down a building
I'm too hopeless to look for a solution, I'm afraid that if I found one
I'd be out of excuses for the way
I waste away in the gutters that I chose
Like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes
I haven't bathed in months, but you know it's not because
I've been fighting bourgeois morals, I'm just lazy and I'm young

[Bridge(?)]
'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather die
'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather- throw your life away

'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather die
'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather die

'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather die
'Cause I'm afraid to look the world in the eye
If nothing's gonna change, well, then I'd rather die

[Conclusion]
Because there's gotta be something more
Than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming at the constellations
I want something more than an apology to say
When I look the world in the eye
