Lyrics

[00:08.47] Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
[00:12.80] Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
[00:17.65] Everybody knows that the war is over
[00:22.01] Everybody knows the good guys lost
[00:26.59] Everybody knows the fight was fixed
[00:31.20] The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
[00:35.94] Thats how it goes
[00:40.65] Everybody knows
[00:45.06] Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
[00:49.80] Everybody knows that the captain lied
[00:54.29] Everybody got this broken feeling
[00:59.28] Like their father or their dog just died
[01:03.43] Everybody talking to their pockets
[01:08.06] Everybody wants a box of chocolates
[01:12.36] And a long stem rose
[01:17.19] Everybody knows
[01:22.41] Everybody knows that you love me baby
[01:26.55] Everybody knows that you really do
[01:31.04] Everybody knows that youve been faithful
[01:35.63] Ah give or take a night or two
[01:40.24] Everybody knows youve been discreet
[01:44.56] But there were so many people you just had to meet
[01:49.15] Without your clothes
[01:52.91] And everybody knows
[01:59.27] Everybody knows, everybody knows
[02:07.47] Thats how it goes
[02:12.51] Everybody knows
[02:17.15] Everybody knows, everybody knows
[02:25.86] Thats how it goes
[02:30.92] Everybody knows
[02:40.12] And everybody knows that its now or never
[02:44.79] Everybody knows that its me or you
[02:49.35] And everybody knows that you live forever
[02:53.96] Ah when youve done a line or two
[02:58.57] Everybody knows the deal is rotten
[03:03.14] Old black joes still pickin cotton
[03:07.28] For your ribbons and bows
[03:12.24] And everybody knows
[03:16.90] And everybody knows that the plague is coming
[03:21.57] Everybody knows that its moving fast
[03:26.14] Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
[03:31.20] Are just a shining artifact of the past
[03:35.31] Everybody knows the scene is dead
[03:39.65] But theres gonna be a meter on your bed
[03:45.30] That will disclose
[03:46.49] What everybody knows
[03:53.71] And everybody knows that youre in trouble
[03:58.38] Everybody knows what youve been through
[04:03.02] From the bloody cross on top of calvary
[04:06.94] To the beach of malibu
[04:12.28] Everybody knows its coming apart
[04:16.41] Take one last look at this sacred heart
[04:20.64] Before it blows
[04:25.88] And everybody knows
[04:30.70] Everybody knows, everybody knows
[04:38.79] Thats how it goes
[04:44.40] Everybody knows
[04:49.13] Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
[04:58.23] Thats how it goes
[05:01.99] Everybody knows
[05:07.46] Everybody knows
