Be nice if we could have our cake and eat it
Though that's impossible to do
But too many have invested in this outcome
They simply can't afford for it not to come true
We ceded too much power to the market
Let it decide what's right or wrong
Now everyone seems willing to lent credence
And truth is so devalued, it's going for a song
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the markets to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
People have had enough of experts
And their inconvenient facts
Here's what the media really won't tell ya
Exactly who it is that's taking control back
All opinions are equal
In the free market of ideas
And truth is nothing more than an opinion
That's the garnered the most likes, provoked the loudest
cheers
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the market to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
There isn't really any room for dreamers
If you have principles that's nice
The market isn't interested in values
Except for those it can define its price
All bow to the power of the market
Till it throws up a different face
If you're not white or male or compliant
The system is designed to keep you in your place
Not everything that counts can be counted
Holds the market to account
Not everything that counts can be counted
Not everything that can be counted counts
Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist born in Barking, Essex, in 1957. His music combines elements of folk, punk, and soul with politically and socially charged lyrics, aligning with the tradition of protest songs. Bragg began his musical career in the 1980s, influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His direct style and incisive songs have won him a wide audience and established him as one of Britain's most important singer-songwriters. Among his most notable albums are "Brewing Up a Storm" (1986), "Talking with the Taxman About Poetry" (1989), and "Mermaid Avenue" (1998), a collaboration with Wilco and Ralph Stanley that revisits Woody Guthrie's unpublished songs. Bragg is also a politically active activist engaged in the fight for workers' rights and against social injustice. His music has always reflected his worldview and his civic commitment.
