Don't count your chickens

'Cos they're never gonna hatch

You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack

'Cos you're too dumb baby

You can't see the wood for the trees

Yes you're too slow baby

You just couldn't get off your knees

Don't count your chickens

'Cos they're never gonna hatch

You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack

'Cos you're too dumb baby

You can't see the wood for the trees

Yes you're too slow baby

You just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes

Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise

What you gonna do and what you gonna say?

I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to disorientate me

It doesn't cost to be someone

I am the vine

And you're the branches

Don't knock a young man

You don't know what he'll get done

You can't kick and old man, see what he's become

You were far too lazy

You stick to your pillow with ease

Yes you're much too lazy

You just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes

Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise

What you gonna do and what you gonna say?

I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to disorientate me

It doesn't cost to be someone

I am the vine

And you're the branches

Don't count your chickens

'Cos they're never gonna hatch

You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack

'Cos you're too dumb baby

You can't see the wood for the trees

Yes you're too slow baby

You just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes

Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise

What you gonna do and what you gonna say?

I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

What'ya gonna do with the rest of your life

Penny for the thoughts behind your disguise

I am the vine

And you're the branches
