Everybody Knows

[Verse 1]

Everybody knows the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

Poor stay poor and the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

[Verse 2]

Everybody knows the boat is leaking

Everybody knows the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog had just died

Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box o’ chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows

[Chorus]

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how things go

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

[Verse 3]

And everybody knows it's now or never

Everybody knows it's me or you

And everybody knows you live forever

When you've done line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and your bows

Everybody knows

[Verse 4]

Eeverybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it is coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

And everybody knows

[Chorus]

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's where it goes

Everybody knows
