Not Everything That Counts Can Be Counted [Verse]
Em         C                 G        D
Be nice if we could have our cake and eat it

Em            C             G         D
Though that's impossible to do

Em      C         G                D
But too many have invested in this outcome

Am                      Am/G  C
They simply can't afford for it not to come true

Em       C        G            D
We ceded too much power to the market

Em     C             G                 D
Let it decide what's right or wrong

Em       C         G               D
Now everyone seems willing to lend credence

Am                      Am/G   C
And truth is so devalued, it's going for a song
Am Am/G C [Chorus]
Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Em            C          G        D
Who holds the markets to account?

Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Am                         Am/G    C   
Not everything that can be counted counts
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 Em A Asus4 A Asus2 C [Verse]
Em          C     G       D
People have had enough of experts

Em             C       G      D
And their inconvenient facts

Em              C     G            D
Here's what the media really won't tell ya

Am                 Am/G  C
Exactly who it is that's taking control back

Em    C          G       D
All opinions are equal

Em          C         G      D
In the free market of ideas

Em           C       G              D
And truth is nothing more than an opinion

Am                             Am/G  C
That's the garnered the most likes, provoked the loudest cheers
Am Am/G C [Chorus]
Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Em            C          G        D
Who holds the markets to account?

Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Am                         Am/G    C
Not everything that can be counted counts
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 Em A Asus4 A Asus2 C [Verse]
Em          C          G        D
There isn't really any room for dreamers

Em          C                 G       D
If you have principles that's nice

Em         C          G        D
The market isn't interested in values

Am                      Am/G      C
Except for those it can define as price

Em  C          G            D
All bow to the power of the market

Em             C              G        D
Till it throws up a different face

Em            C        G       D
If you're not white or male or compliant

Am                   Am/G C
The system is designed to keep you in your place
Am Am/G C [Chorus]
Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Em            C          G        D
Who holds the markets to account?

Em        C         G             D
Not everything that counts can be counted

Am                         Am/G    C
Not everything that can be counted counts
