Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lostEverybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
Thats how it goes, everybody knowsEverybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
That their father or their dog just diedEverybody talkin to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose and everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes, everybody knowsEverybody knows that you love me, baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or twoEverybody knows that you've been discreet
There were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes and everybody knowsEverybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you've done a line or twoEverybody knows that the deal is rotten
Old Black Joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows, everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
Thats how it goes and everybody knowsEverybody knows that the plague is comin
Everybody knows its movin fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the pastAnd everybody knows that the scene is dead
But theres gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose what everybody knowsEverybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach at MalibuAnd everybody knows its comin' apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows and everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes and everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes, everybody knows
