Everybody Knows

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, and the rich get rich That's how it goes And everybody knows Everybody knows the boat is leaking Everybody knows the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talkin' into their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stemmed rose And 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 discrete There were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes But everybody knows 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 Oh, black Joe still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows 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 the plague is coming Everybody knows it moving fast Everybody knows that's the naked man and woman Just a shining artifact of the past And everybody knows that the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows 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 one last look at this sacred 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 knows Everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows --- Everybody Knows - Don Henley
