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
Thats 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

( chorus )

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that youve been faithful

Give or take a night or two

Everbody knows that youve been discret

There were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows

Everybody knows that its now or never

Everybody knows that its me or you

Everybody knows that you live forever

When youve done a line or two

And everybody knows that the deal is rotten

Old black joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everbody knows that the plaque is coming

Everybody knows that its 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 theres gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows

Everybody knows that youre in trouble

Everybody knows what youve been through

From the bloody cross on top of calvary

To the beach at malibu

And everybody knows its coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows

Everybody knows  everybody knows

Thats how it goes  and everybody  knows
