Everybody Knows

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
