it’s not so fun no more
[Chorus]
G D A
you will find that there’s a lot of boring things to count
G
count them, count them, count them

you must have the right amount

calories and speeding points

and pennies in your purse

count your blessings too because it daily gets much worse

problems, problems, problems, problems

piling up on you

they just keep on coming and there’s nothing you can do

counting opportunities that got away from you

regrets and disappointments

don’t forget the failures too
D G D
counting all the so-called friends that stabbed you in the back
A D
there’s so many it becomes a problem keeping track
[Chorus]
G D A
counting all the ways the world’s a giant ball of crap
G
war and famine all around
D A
but here’s a funny app
G D A
count up all the ways that you could change it if you tried
G
but there is too much else to do
A D
then suddenly you die
