Lyrics
Verse 1
I paid more for rice today
Than I paid for jeans last year
That’s cute, real cute
Who’s cashing out in here?
My rent got jokes
My boss got spin
They call it “growth”
I call it thin
The lobby’s gold
The ceiling leaks
Everybody’s “fine”
For three whole weeks
Pre-Chorus
And they smile so wide
While the numbers climb
Make it look like luck
But I know the grind
Chorus
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
We’re all buying less
For the same old vows
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
They take from the plate
Then ask why we’re loud
Verse 2
The news says “reform”
Then the rules get bent
Same hands at the top
Same rent, same rent
My neighbor works nights
Still can’t catch a break
Two jobs, one bus ride
One more bill to make
They name the tax
Like it fell from sky
But it lands on us
And they wave goodbye
Pre-Chorus
Still they flash those grins
From behind the glass
Say the water’s calm
While the fees attack
Chorus
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
We’re all buying less
For the same old vows
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
They take from the plate
Then ask why we’re loud
Bridge
I’m not asking much
Just a fair exchange
Not a velvet speech
With the locks unchanged
Let the crumbs be crumbs
Let the truth stay seen
If the house is “strong”
Why it shake like me?
Final Chorus
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
We’re all buying less
For the same old vows
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
They take from the plate
Then ask why we’re loud
Who’s counting now?
Who’s counting now?
I got a sharp eye
And a sharper mouth
