Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over And 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 that the boat is leaking Everybody knows the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling That their father or their dog just died

Everybody talkin' to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose, and everybody knows

REFRAIN :

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes, and 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 that you've been discret There were so many people

You just had to meet Without your clothes, and 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

And everybody knows That the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

REFRAIN (x2)

Everbody knows that the plaque is comin' Everybody knows that it's movin' fast

Everybody knows That the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past 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

And everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart

Before it blows, and everybody knows

REFRAIN
