hayesaurand

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

Thats 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 youve been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows youve been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows



Everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows



Everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats 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 youve 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 theres gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows



And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what youve 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

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows



Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

Thats how it goes

Everybody knows



Everybody knows
