Everything Counts (In Larger Amounts) - Depeche Mode

Red, the wild, the wild, the wild Crackling, the leaping of white fire A spider like the dance Shimmering and crawling over me A puppet man, a zombie Lances from the blackness of my eye I look into the Godmouth The energy, the energy in us There's something in the white matter Someone in the white matter I hear song in reverse Birdsong, song in reverse I hear me sing A song That I cannot begin to understand The slaughter in the sky Pulling on the magnet in my mind The stench of it, the rendering The energy, the energy of us There's something in the white matter Someone in the white matter I hear song in reverse Birdsong, song in reverse I hear me sing There's something in the white matter Someone in the white matter I hear song in reverse Birdsong, song in reverse I'm vapour in your love I hear song in reverse Birdsong, song in reverse I'm vapour in your love There's something in the white matter Someone in the white matter I hear song in reverse Birdsong, song in reverse I'm vapour in your love

[Chorus 4X] In this life one thing counts In the bank, large amounts [Luda speaks in the background] [Verse One] Now everybody wants a piece of my pockets And it don't help when I'm screaming on these records that I'm rich Calling people from my number now I Block it Cuz aint nothing worse then getting haunted by a stalkin ass bitch (oh yeah) Cuz good game I talk it and yet you're so true some women will have you feeling blue like crips I lay my feet upon the path and I walk it I spread my wealth out or someone close will have me layin' in a ditch I have my friends steal from me Snatch my credit card and my wallet hit the town and leave outstanding bills for me They say I got the cash for it and I can't recall one single member of my family that never Asked for it They've been kicking down doors and bustin' out flows They can't get me on the phone so they surprise me at my show And everybody needs a loan plus they say they won't blow it All I hear "common cuz, you know I'm good for it" (man) [Chorus 4X] [Verse Two] Now don't get me wrong cuz being rich is such a beautiful thing But more money, more problems people drive me insane Not giving no handouts no more so take advantage and flee My goal's to set my friends up to make some paper like me Put em in position and make their wishes come... true So they can have multiple accounts gain interest over night Given a million dollars, what you gone... do? Map your life out for your kids-kids or would you spend it over night? Now see me I'll do both I got unlimited funds My daughters life was set before her stankin butt turned one And it don't help that I got 4 or 5 retirement funds So if I choose before I'm 30 I can lay in the sun My dividends can show and prove the real meaning of fun That's why I live by the sword but you can die by my gun The IRS 'll never sweat me or even put up a fight Cuz I'm sure I'll pay more in taxes then you made in your life Because... [Chorus 4X] [Verse Three] Now women these days don't want a man without a nice pay check So he splurge even though our lives ain't in right place yet Buying jewellery and some cars just to impress these whores Meanwhile you childs poor like "daddy what you left me for?" Yeah but it all comes back that's why I named my daughter Karma (yup) Who's teaching me the lesson of life and making me smarter I sweep her off her feet cuz I'm her knight in shining armour And I have your fucking head if anybody tries to harm her Got to teach her about the game that most of us niggaz will spit And about these scandalous ass women that get money thru gifts They'll suck a cold hard wood for some cold hard cash Or ride a brother good to put a foot up on the gas Of that brand new ride, pick up our friends While you're slippin' she slides. Drop top Benz gold diggers inside Crazy what the world will do for money Thinking that everything will be alright Cuz... [Chorus repeat till end]
