Don't count your chickens
Cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
Cause you're too dull baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Cause you're too slow baby
You just couldn't get off your knees
Don't count your chickens
Cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
Cause you're too dull baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Cause 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 are far too lazy
You stick to your pillow with ease
Cause 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
Cause they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
Cause you're too dull baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Cause 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
