[Intro]
[Verse]
Be nice if we could have our cake and eat it
Though that s impossible to do
But too many have invested in this outcome
They simply can t afford for it not to come true
We ceded too much power to the market
Let it decide what s right or wrong
Now everyone seems willing to lent credence
And truth is so devalued, it s going for a song
[Chorus]
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the markets to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
[Interlude]
[Verse]
People have had enough of experts
And their inconvenient facts
Here s what the media really won t tell ya
Exactly who it is that s taking control back
All opinions are equal
In the free market of ideas
And truth is nothing more than an opinion
That s the garnered the most likes, provoked the loudest cheers
[Chorus]
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the markets to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
[Interlude]
[Verse]
There isn t really any room for dreamers
If you have principles that s nice
The market isn t interested in values
Except for those it can define as price
All bow to the power of the market
Till it throws up a different face
If you re not white or male or compliant
The system is designed to keep you in your place
[Chorus]
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the markets to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
