about

‘Counting Pennies’ written and produced by the duo, mastered by Grammy Award winning Dick Beetham (Loyle Carner, Greentea Peng) is packed with soul and backed by a distinctive, driving groove whilst the lyrics resonate with today's current crises: ‘pay doesn't rise, we are just living to survive’.

Gee (vocalist and songwriter) comments, “Across the globe from continent to country, the 99% are experiencing difficulty keeping afloat with rising inflation and living costs. This track is an honest account of the times we are living in: regardless of class or creed we are all in a time of need.”

lyrics

Oh I’m tired
I’m stressed out
Bout the lack of money that’s in my account
Counting pennies
Counting days
For the next pay cheque to come my way


I’ve no more cash to show
Gas and bills that’s where it flows
Seems to me that’s how it goes
Will I find a way out?

Now what do I own
and what do I owe
not sure I know
Cos I’ve got bills here
and I’ve got loans there
I try not to care

Oh I’m tired I’m stressed out
By the lack of money that’s in my account
Counting pennies
counting days
For the next pay cheque to come my way
Oh I’m tired I’m stressed out
By the lack of money that’s in my account
Counting pennies
counting days
For the next pay cheque to come my way

It’s the bank they’ve called to say
Today’s the day we must pay
How can we on minimum wage
Will we find a way out?

Now what do I own
and what do I owe
I’m not sure I know
Cos I’ve got bills here
And I’ve got loans there
I try not to care

Oh I’m tired I’m stressed out
Bout the lack of money that’s in my account
counting pennies
counting days
For the next pay cheque to come my way
Oh I’m tired I’m stressed out
By the lack of money that’s in my account
counting pennies
counting days
For the next pay cheque to come my way

Ohh.
The pay it doesn’t rise
we just living to survive
