Everybody Knows 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 that 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 leakin'
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talkin' to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose, everybody knows

Everybody knows you love me, baby
Everybody knows that you really do
And everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or two

Everybody knows that you've been discreet
But there were so many people
You just had to meet without your clothes
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 it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
[ Leonard Cohen Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
When you've done a little line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's movin' fast
Everybody knows that your naked man and woman
Are just a shinin' 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

Everybody knows 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 comin' apart
Take one last look at this [Incomprehensible] 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, everybody knows
That's how it goes, everybody knows

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