Timbuk3 - Count To Ten lyrics

Poisonous words delivered in haste Leave a taste of toxic waste Before we make the same mistake again Count to ten Whether you're strong or whether you're weak It's best to think before you speak Before you take a stand you can't defend Count to ten Authors and critics, writers and hacks Do your homework, get the facts Before you point your poison pen Count to ten 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, mankind will survive Babe, is it you or me I must convince? 5, 6, 7, 8, how long must I wait For this frog in my throat to turn into a prince? Ten little fingers, ten little toes Ten commandments everyone knows Even old man Moses knew back then Count to ten 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, mankind will survive Babe, is it you or me I must convince? 5, 6, 7, 8, how long must I wait For this frog in my throat to turn into a prince? Read my lips, don't hesitate If you wait for the movie, it'll be too late Armageddon needs a few good men Count to ten Count to ten
