Depeche Mode Everything Counts (Original 1983 Mix) Lyrics

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

Everything counts in large amounts

Words by Martin Gore (c) 1983 Sonet Publishing
