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
thatand'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 youand've been faithful
ah give or take a night or two
everybody knows youand've been discreet
but there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes
and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
And everybody knows that itand's now or never
everybody knows that itand's me or you
and everybody knows that you live forever
ah when youand've done a line or two
everybody knows the deal is rotten
old black joeand's still pickinand' cotton
for your ribbons and bows
and everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
everybody knows that itand'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 thereand's gonna be a meter on your bed
that will disclose
what everybody knows
And everybody knows that youand're in trouble
everybody knows what youand've been through
from the bloody cross on top of calvary
to the beach of 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
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
thatand's how it goes
everybody knows
Everybody knows
