Píseň: Meat Beat Manifesto - Everything Counts

Interpret:
Depeche Mode
Album:
For the Masses
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.


The grabbing hands grab all they can,
everything counts in large amounts.


The grabbing hands grab all they can,
everything counts in large amounts.


Everything, everything...


The grabbing hands grab all they can,
everything counts in large amounts.
