Everybody knows that 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
thatand's how it goes
and everybody knows
Everybody knows the boat is leaking
everybody knows the captain lied
everybody got this broken feeling
like their father or their dog just died
everybody talkinand' into their pckects
everybody wants a box of chocolates
and a long stemmed rose
everybody knows
Everybody knows
everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
everybody knows that you really do
everybody knows that youand've been faithful
give or take a night or two
everybody knows youand've been discrete
there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes
but everybody knows
Everybody knows that itand's now or never
everybody knows that itand's me or you
everybody knows that you live forever
when youand've done a line or two
everybody knows the deal is rotten
oh, by joe still picken cotton
for your ribbons and bows
everybody knows
Everybody knows
everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows
everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows that the plague is coming
everybody knows it moving fast
everybody knows thatand's the naked man and woman
just a shining artifact of the past
and everybody knows that the scene is dead
but thereand's gunna be a meter on your bed
that will disclose
what everybody knows
Everybody knows that youand're in trouble
everybody knows what youand've been through
from the bloody cross on
to the beach at malibu
everybody knows itand's coming apart
take one last look at this sacred heart
before it blows
and everybody knows
Everybody knows
everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
