Piss It Away
Possibly perhaps something will put a path upon my soul,
Steer it clear of what I fear – With goodwill we can rejoice.
Now I’m not blind but I can’t see when the path don’t lead to me,
And even though the choice is mine I’ll pick the wrong one
Even though I look upon my right.
(Chorus):
Piss It Away Piss It Away Piss It Away
Piss It Away, I’m gonna throw it in the ocean…
Foolishly standing tall ’cause at the bottom you cannot fall,
And even though I thought I was smart
I can’t play chess without my heart.
So One, I’ll always get confused, and
Two will mutually abuse.
Three and Four will cast it away on some distant shore as I’m
Pissing It Away…
Piss It Away Piss It Away Piss It Away
Piss It Away, and throw it in the ocean…
Alright now, break it down…
I once had some dignity – I threw it in the raging sea.
Now I don’t need that shit around me, I’ll set it free…
Piss It Away Piss It Away Piss It Away
Piss It Away, and throw it in the ocean…
(Bridge):
It’s not like we were meant to be with what we need
We gotta fight or else the sea will take a turn
You’ll not return, you’ll never learn
You’ll not return, you’ll never learn
You’ll not return, you’ll never learn…oh yeah,
Piss It Away. Piss It Away. Piss It Away.
I once had an old billfold – I threw it in the raging foam
Let me be free, be free to roam and finally find myself a home,
And I’ll Piss It Away. Piss It Away. Piss It Away.
I’ll Piss It Away and throw it in the ocean…

Alt Verses (sung towards the end):
I once had an aerobee (sp?) – I threw it in the raging sea.
Now I don’t need that shit around me, I’ll set it free…
Piss It Away Piss It Away Piss It Away
Piss It Away, and throw it in the ocean…
or
I once had a college degree – I threw it in the raging sea.
Now I don’t need that shit around me, I’ll set it free…
Piss It Away Piss It Away Piss It Away
Piss It Away, and throw it in the ocean…

So does anyone else make a throwing motion during the line “throw it in the ocean”? If you’d like to join me, I’ll be in the Interpretive Dance section of the crowd.
