Lyrics
Wake up this mornin' and the paper's on the mat
Poor getting poorer and the rich are getting fat again
Up in the towers all the bosses sittin' sneezing
Are half asleep and the rest all started squeezing tight
Don't worry 'bout it baby, don't try to understand
You got the answers in your hand
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away
Wake up this mornin', there's a letter on the mat
Big brother wanna know where little brother's at again
Life is a piece of paper, goes on forever
Sign on the dotted line or end up in the river drowned
Don't worry 'bout it baby, don't try to understand
You got the answers in your hand
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away
Ah-ah
There goes the ruler of men
A tiny blight
And tight guns, yeah
It's nice, yeah?
Vitamin C, yeah
Wake up this mornin', there's a letter on the mat
Big brother wanna know where little brother's at again
Life is a piece of paper, goes on forever
Sign on the dotted line or end up in the river drowned
Drowned, drowned, drowned
Drowned, drowned, drowned
Drowned, drowned, drowned
Don't worry 'bout it baby, don't try to understand
You got the answers in your hand
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
I told you throw it away
Throw it away, just throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
