Lyrics

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 stay rich That's how it goes Everybody knows And everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got that sinking feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody want a box of chocolates And a long-stem rose Everybody knows And everybody knows that you love me, baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Yeah, give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people that you had to meet Without your clothes Everybody knows And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows that it's me or you Everybody knows you'll live forever Yeah, when you take a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still picking cotton For your ribbons and bows Everybody knows And everybody knows that a plague is coming Everybody knows that it's moving fast Everybody knows a naked man and woman's Just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead There's gonna be a meter by your bed Which 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 at Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take a last look at this sacred heart Before it blows Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes, yeah Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows
