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

That'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 talkin' into their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stemmed rose

And everybody knows Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Give or take a night or two

Everybody knows you've been discrete

There were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

But everybody knows Everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you

Everybody knows that you live forever

When you've done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Oh, black Joe still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and bows

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 the plague is coming

Everybody knows it moving fast

Everybody knows that's the naked man and woman

Just a shining artifact of the past

And everybody knows that the scene is dead

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows 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 one last look at this sacred heart

Before it blows

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 Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows Everybody knows

Everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows
