Let me throw my life away

You say I throw my life away
Wasting precious time
It may seem shady
But hey at least it's mine

You'll never see it the way I do
Never hear it quite as loud
Different strokes
For a different kind of crowd

No you don't hear it the way I do
But you know that it's ok
I never do what I do to be pleasing you
So let me throw my life away

Down a road you've never known
Contempt flashig in your eyes
I'd be obliged if you tried
Not to ask me why
