Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grab all they can, after all
Grab all they can, after all
[Verse 2]
The handshake (The handshake) seals the contract (The handshake)
From the contract, (The handshake) there's no turning back (The handshake)
The turning point (The handshake) of a career (The handshake)
In Korea, (The handshake) being insincere (The handshake)
(Seals the contract) The holiday (The handshake) was fun-packed (The handshake)
The contract (The handshake) still intact (The handshake)
[Verse 3]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
[Verse 4]
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 5]
The graph (The graph) on the wall (The graph)
Tells a story (The graph) of it wall (The graph)
Picture it now, (The graph) see just how (The graph)
The lies and deceit (The graph) gained a little more power (The graph)
(On the wall) Confidence (The graph) taken in (The graph)
By a suntan (The graph) and a grin (The graph)
[Verse 6]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
[Verse 7]
It's a competitive world (Everything, everything, everything, everything)
(Everything, everything, everything, everything)
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 8]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 9]
(Everything, everything)
(Everything, everything)
[Verse 10]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 11]
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 12]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 13]
Everything counts in large amounts
[Verse 14]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
