It's all or nothing
  That's how you've always been
  All or nothing
  With nothing in between
  You can't compromise
  You can't quit while you're ahead
    You won't see reason
  You think that's giving in
  We try to tell you
  But you're not listening
  Now I realise
  The only help you'll take
    [Chorus:]
  It's in your hand
  The power to change
  To make a stand
  To come of age
  It's in your hand
    It's worse than pointless
  To try to talk to you
  You've made your mind up
  There's nothing we can do
  Gets worse every day
  You'd think you had it planned
  Throw it all away
    [Chorus rpt:]
  In your hand but you won't use it
  Rather throw your life away
  [Rpt above couplet]
    It's all or nothing
  So nothing it'll be
  You see I've made my mind up
  And I won't intervene
    Throw it all away
  Throw it all away I don't care
  Throw it all away
