Everybody Knows Songtext

Everybody Knows Songtext
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows that the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That′s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody′s talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Yeah and everybody knows
And 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
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe′s still picking cotton
For your ribbons and bows
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 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 you′ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Yeah and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows that the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That′s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody′s talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Yeah and everybody knows
And 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
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe′s still picking cotton
For your ribbons and bows
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 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 you′ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Yeah and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
