Throw Yourself Away Lyrics
Baby's born on the bathroom floor
The mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
When they ask you say it isn't mine
Oooh, you know they're gonna know you lied
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
So keep the way you're feeling out of this
And hide it all until the day you die
The secret's safe at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while
Oooh, and now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Baby's born on the bathroom floor
Mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
And when they ask you say it isn't mine
And damn you for thinkin' we would never know
And damn you for thinkin' we would never mind
Only reason that you'd make it this far
You never asked and but you never try
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
The mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
When they ask you say it isn't mine
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
And hide it all until the day you die
The secret's safe at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
And when they ask you say it isn't mine
And damn you for thinkin' we would never mind
Only reason that you'd make it this far
You never asked and but you never try
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

the first five or so seconds of this song song exactly exactly like Metallica's 'The Unnamed Feeling' intro, anybody else noticed?
This song is referring to Melissa Drexler, who at her prom, gave birth in the bathroom and threw the baby in the trash can. She's also known as the "Prom Mom" I go to the school now... I can't believe they actually did this, they're rude.
They're rude? That fucking stupid bitch Melissa was rude for throwing her kid away and the EMT's tried for two hours to revive it. She should have spent her whole 15 years in prison.

i read somewhere that this song's about a girl in canada a few years ago that got pregnant and didn't want the baby, she was only a teenager and all through the pregnancy she hid her belly and she had the baby at her prom. she had it in the toilet and left it in the water to drown and then she threw it in the garbage like a candy rapper and didn't care, they found the baby and worked out that it was hers but she denied it and said it wasn't hers bu they did blood tests and it was hers and she went to jail for it. stupid bitch!! i thought this story was disturbing when i first read it.
Very close, but not quite. I actually remember this happening. The song is about Melissa Drexler, a high school senior from Lacey Township, NJ that had a child in the bathroom of her prom in 1997... If you dont belive me look it up just type in the words "prom mom" in a search... She was sentenced to 15 yrs in prison

green1 good point. Hense that she is throwing the baby away, the singer is emphasizing that the girl do the same to her self. "You notice how god aint even helping you out" refering to the unatural death of the baby is what i understand. Im not sure on the "you know there gona burn it down? part and its reference.
*sound
I used to not like this song because I only really listened to the first verse and the chorus. I thought that only the fisrt verse was about the girl and the baby..like you know some songs go from scene to scene in different verses...anyway I was mad bacause I thought that maybe some kid would be depressed and listen to this song and it would re-enforce their feelings of worthlessness. Don't get me wrong, I loooooooove Nickelback. But now that I have taken the time to listen to the whole song and realize that the whole thing is about the one incident, it's growing on me. And I agree...WHAT A FUCKING BITCH! (sigh) I feel better now.
Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like "So keep the way you feel anonymous." more than "So keep the way you're feeling out of this."
I haven't looked at the lyrics book yet, but it definitely sounds like that to me.
I agree with Kamon it sounds like they are say"so keep the way you feel anonymous" nut there was a lady about a month ago in the city I live in that had a baby and through it in the dumpster behind her apartments but they baby lived (thank god)
yes they are saying "so keep the way you feel anonymous" i looked it up in the cd booklet
sick guitar solo
