everybody knows

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.
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.
