Count Your Blessings

[Verse 1]

Power, fortune and fame

Only a delusion inside your brain

But those who got it all

Fuckin' piss me off, they got a lot of balls

To sit there and complain

That affluence is a tremendous strain

Use some common sense

Take nothing for granted, not a fucking cent

[Chorus]

A word to the wise, you should realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise

That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards

You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard

A word to the wise, when will you realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?

The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first

To wish he counted his blessing

[Verse 2]

Substantial amounts

Of their money lies in Swiss bank accounts

And more in stocks and bonds

They should consider if it were gone

Just what the hell they'd do

They might have to work to pay for their food

Like every one of us

They count their blessings with all of us

[Chorus]

A word to the wise, you should realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise

That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards

You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard

A word to the wise, when will you realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?

The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first

To wish he counted his blessing

[Verse 1]

Power, fortune and fame

Only a delusion inside your brain

Those who got it all

Fuckin' piss me off, they got a lot of balls

To sit there and complain

That affluence is a tremendous strain

Use some common sense

Take nothing for granted, not a fucking cent

[Chorus]

A word to the wise, you should realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise

That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards

You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard

A word to the wise, when will you realize

If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?

The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first

To wish he counted his blessing
