[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 [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 All for themselves, after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts [Verse 2: Dave Gahan] 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 [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 All for themselves, after all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts Everything counts in large amounts Everything counts in large amounts [Chorus: Martin L. Gore] The grabbing hands grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts [Bridge: Martin L. Gore] (Everything, everything) (Everything, everything) [Chorus: Martin L. Gore] The grabbing hands grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts [Outro: Martin L. Gore] Everything counts in large amounts
