[Verse 1] 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 A half asleep and the rest all start to squeezing tight [Chorus] Don't worry 'bout it, baby, don't try to understand You got the answer in your hand Throw it away, throw it away Throw it away, throw it away Throw it away [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Don't worry 'bout it, baby, don't try to understand You got the answer in your hand Throw it away, throw it away Throw it away, throw it away Throw it away [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Don't worry 'bout it, baby, don't try to understand You got the answer in your hand Throw it away, throw it away Throw it away, throw it away Why don't you throw it away? Throw it away J-just throw it away, throw it away Throw it away
