Intro: |
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 |
Bridge: |
x4 |
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 |
That's how it goes |
Everybody knows |
Everybody knows |
