Lyrics

GET RICH QUICK (Count Your Blessings)   c2012 Jerry Stevens
A little song about a neat little trick
all about how were gonna get rich quick
All these bills aint gonna cure my ills
All these bills they dont give me no thrills
all these bills make me feel I wanna call in sick
from all of the trouble and stressin   
So I decided Id just get rich quick 
Im gonna count my blessings
its such a screamin deal/thats my level playin field
One two three  Im just as rich as I can be
1 2 3 4 5 Im just so lucky to be alive

The doctor and the banker and the lawyer man 
They use these words we think that we understand
Just when we think that were doin fine
Some words meaning changes 
and so does the bottom line
I guess the Tower o Babel aint goin nowhere
This love and war thing aint never gonna be fair
From the pan to the fire here we are in mid air
Nothin gonna change unless somebody's gonna care

Whole heap o stones and words and sticks    
my whole world up is messin
So I decided Id just get rich quick 
Im goin to count my blessings

well I really want to be free 
but I know the powers that be
just wanna give me beggin lessons
sorta like the bankers Ill be 
getting rich quick for free                                                                            
but Im gonna do it by countin my blessings
Ill never be kept guessin
my sweet Jesus Ill be expressin
