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
