Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
"Everything Counts" is Depeche Mode's eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and third US single (released on November 2, 1983), from the then upcoming album Construction Time Again.
The single is a pivotal release in the band's career, as the members attempted to transition from the pop numbers of their early years to a more sophisticated sound; it would be the first single of the transition period to hit the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
It was the first in a long line of industrial-inspired singles released by the band, and has been referred to as "arguably...the first English-language industrial pop hit."
The single was re-released (in live format) on February 13, 1989 (March 25, 1989 in the US) to support the live album 101.

Seals the contract
From the contract
Theres no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In korea, being insincere
The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract
Still intact
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
Its a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit
Gained a little more power
Confidence
Taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
Its a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
