You like to buy and buy the best

It's not been that long since you were penniless

So you flaunt your success

You spend on yourself and you spend with finesse

And the ones who felt your wrath

Need constant reminders you're not going back

♪

You invest in the profane

Your license plate reads like a modern campaign

You collect and attain

Your porcelain figures are rare and handmade

But those who're in your way

Can rest assured they could be you one day

♪

Just throw it all away

Reread your fate and seize the day

You'll throw it all away

It never mattered anyway

This red letter day

Is bigger than you'll ever be so

Throw it all away

And seize the day

♪

You let us know you made the grade

All your Italian suits are tailor made

You obsess on the well paid

One of these days deeper needs will invade

We throw it all away

While the flames lick and bite as you live for the day

♪

Just throw it all away

Reread your fate and seize the day

You'll throw it all away

It never mattered anyway

This red letter day

Is bigger than you'll ever be so

Throw it all away

And seize the day
