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
The poor stay poor
and the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
the boat is leakin'
Everybody know
the captain lied
Everybody got
this broken feelin'
like their father
or their dog just died
Everybody talkin'
to their pockets
Everybody wants
a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody 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 two
Everybody knows
you've been discreet
There were so many people
you just had to meet
without your clothes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that it's now or never
Everybody knows
that it's me or you
Everybody knows
that you live forever
when you've done
a line or two
Everybody knows
the deal is rotten
Old black Joe's
still pickin' cotton
For your ribbon's and bows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that the plague is comin'
Everybody knows
it's movin' fast
Everybody knows that's
a naked man and woman
Just a shinin' artifact
to the past
Everybody knows
the scene is dead
But there's gonna be
a meter on your bed
that will disclose
what everybody knows
Everybody knows
that you're in trouble
Everybody knows
what you've been through
From the bloody cross
on the top of Calvary
to the beach at Malibu
And everybody knows
it's comin' apart
Take one last look
at this sacred heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
