Not Everything That Counts Can Be Counted

© 2005 Beth Vernon

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

Beware of the bean counters They have their own gravity

Beware of the bean counters They’re pulling us to mediocrity

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

Beware of the bean counters They’re drivin’ me insane

Beware of the bean counters They’re restricted to the mundane

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts

So trust in your heart and mind I know they’re givin’ you the blues

Trust in your heart and mind They’ve never been in your shoes

Not everything that counts can be counted

And not everything that’s counted, counts
