Throwing It All Away - Stiff Little Fingers

You walked the streets of this old town

And found the place where it all went wrong

The place you thought you once belonged, long ago

But in your heart you know you’ll find

Better kind of peace of mind

That takes you back to a better time, you used to know

From east to west from north to south

We won’t give up easy

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away

You used to see with open eyes

Now you’re blinded by the lies

And they say that we’ve gotta cut the ties that bind us

But do you remember when we stood as one

We’d fight the fight 'til the day was done

For a better life and a brighter sun to guide us

From east to west from north to south

We won’t give up easy

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away

When you make your decision there’s no turning back

So make your decision count

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away

From east to west from north to south

We won’t give up easy

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away

You’re not gonna take it, you’re not gonna break it

We’re not gonna throw it all away
