Everybody knows that the dice are loaded | |
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed | |
Everybody knows that the war is over | |
Everybody knows the good guys lost | |
Everybody knows the fight was fixed | |
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich | |
That's how it goes | |
Everybody knows | |
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking | |
Everybody knows that the captain lied | |
Everybody got this broken feeling | |
Like their father or their dog just died | |
Everybody talking to their pockets | |
Everybody wants a box of chocolates | |
And a long stem rose | |
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 | |
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 | |
Everybody knows | |
Everybody knows, everybody knows | |
That's how it goes | |
Everybody knows | |
And 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 | |
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 | |
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 of Malibu | |
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 | |
Everybody knows | |
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows | |
That's how it goes | |
Everybody knows | |
Everybody knows |
