[Intro: Dave Gahan]
"Hahah. Yeah!"
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
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
"Yeah!"
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can "Oh, yeah"
All for themselves, after all
It's a competitive world "Sing it!"
Everything counts in large amounts
"Yeah"
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now, see just how
The lies and dеceit gained a little morе power
Confidence taken in
By a suntan and a grin
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
"Well, come on!"
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 "Yeah!"
Everything counts in large amounts "Oh, yeah. Come on"
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts "Oh, yeah"
The grabbing hands grab all they can "Alright, Martin"
Everything counts in large amounts "Come on!"
"Everybody, sing!"
[Outro: audience, "Dave Gahan"]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
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
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
"Wow, Liévin! Thank you very much. We'll see you next time. Goodnight, thank you! Aloha!"
"Hahah. Yeah!"
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
