Count your Blessings
from The Vegans (s/t) by The Vegans
lyrics
There's really nothing beautiful
In the meaningless lines
That we tell to our lovers
To help them sleep at night
There’s something pitiful
In the countless lies
that we repeat to our mirrors
Things will be better one day
If we just sit and wait
Watching tv on the couch
And do nothing but complain
Let's spend the money we've saved
And live for today
By watching tv on the couch
And finding more ways to complain
never dare to try
You might get hurt again
There's evil in the eyes
Of all of your close friends
And in the end
Who gives a fuck about life
We all die anyway
Take the easy way out
It's what you're used to
Take the easy way out
Run away from it all
Count your blessings my friend
You've found such a happy end
A brand new lover and another new leaf
Is it worth it, is it fun?
Do you think that she's the one?
Do you need her, is she cute?
Is she suffocating you
In a sence, innocence is made to fade away
And yet we're trying to fight the passing of age
Taking debts and taking drugs
Breaking hearts and making love
Moving back in with our parents
After we've had enough
My darling
Your only failure was giving up
On yourself
My darling
Your only failure was giving up on yourself
Count your blessings my friend
You've found such a happy end
A brand new lover and another new leaf
Is it worth it, is it fun?
Do you think that she's the one?
Do you need her, is she cute?
Is she suffocating you
There was a moment by the lakeside
While we shivered and we cried
When The moonlight lit the forest
And reflected in your eyes
I touched your lovely sweater
For the very last time
But I never heard a goodbye
In the meaningless lines
That we tell to our lovers
To help them sleep at night
There’s something pitiful
In the countless lies
that we repeat to our mirrors
Things will be better one day
If we just sit and wait
Watching tv on the couch
And do nothing but complain
Let's spend the money we've saved
And live for today
By watching tv on the couch
And finding more ways to complain
never dare to try
You might get hurt again
There's evil in the eyes
Of all of your close friends
And in the end
Who gives a fuck about life
We all die anyway
Take the easy way out
It's what you're used to
Take the easy way out
Run away from it all
Count your blessings my friend
You've found such a happy end
A brand new lover and another new leaf
Is it worth it, is it fun?
Do you think that she's the one?
Do you need her, is she cute?
Is she suffocating you
In a sence, innocence is made to fade away
And yet we're trying to fight the passing of age
Taking debts and taking drugs
Breaking hearts and making love
Moving back in with our parents
After we've had enough
My darling
Your only failure was giving up
On yourself
My darling
Your only failure was giving up on yourself
Count your blessings my friend
You've found such a happy end
A brand new lover and another new leaf
Is it worth it, is it fun?
Do you think that she's the one?
Do you need her, is she cute?
Is she suffocating you
There was a moment by the lakeside
While we shivered and we cried
When The moonlight lit the forest
And reflected in your eyes
I touched your lovely sweater
For the very last time
But I never heard a goodbye
