Everybody Knows Songtext
von Peter Mulvey

Everybody knows that the dices 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 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 got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just die Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose Everybody knows...
Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Ah give or take a night or two Everybody knows that you've been discreet But the were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes 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

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it′s me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you′ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin′ cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows


And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining 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

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 of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That′s how it goes
Everybody knows
