"Everything Counts" lyrics - IN FLAMES

IN FLAMES
"Everything Counts"
(Martin Gore)

The handshake seals the contract,
From the contract there's no turning back.
The turning point of a career,
In Korea being insincere.
The holiday was fun-packed,
The contract, still intact!

The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
It's a competitive world,
Everything counts in large amounts.

The graph on the wall,
Tells the story of it all.
Picture it now,
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power.
Confidence - taken in
By a suntan and a grin!

The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
It's a competitive world,
Everything counts in large amounts.
Everything counts in large amounts.

The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
The grabbing hands grab all they can,
All for themselves - after all.
It's a competitive world!
