Everybody Knows

Everybody knows the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over, everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed, the poor stay poor, and the rich get rich

That's how it goes, and everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking, everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody's got this broken feeling like their father or their dog just died

Everybody's talking to their pockets,

Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long stem rose

And everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby, everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful, ah, give or take a night or two

And everybody knows you've been discreet,

But there were so many people you just had to meet without your clothes

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows that's how it goes, and everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows that's how it goes, and everybody knows

Everybody knows that it's now or never, everybody knows that it's me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever, ah, when you've done a line or two

And everybody knows the deal is rotten,

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton for your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming, everybody knows that it's moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman are just a shining artifact of the past

And everybody knows the scene is dead,

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed that will disclose what everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble, everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary, to the beach in Malibu

And everybody knows it's coming apart,

Take one last look at this sacred heart before it blows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows that's how it goes, and everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows that's how it goes, and everybody knows
