Count to Ten Lyrics by Timbuk 3

Edge of Allegiance

0

Poisonous words
Delivered in hate
Leave a taste
Of toxic waste
Before we make the same mistake again
Count to ten
Whether you're strong
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 hand
Count to ten
One, two, three, four, five
Mankind will survive
Babe, is it you or me I must convince?
Five, six, seven, eight
How long must I wait
For this frog in my throat
To turn into a prince?
Ten little fingers
Ten little toes
Ten commandments
That everyone knows
Even old man Moses knew back then
Count to ten
One, two, three, four, five
Mankind will survive
Babe, is it you or me I must convince?
Five, six, seven, eight
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 means a few good men
Count to ten
Count to ten
