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, 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's 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 Well, give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there are so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes 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 it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you Everybody knows that you live forever And 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 the naked man and woman Are just an 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 beaches of Malibu Everybody knows it's coming 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
