Intro: / (listen to song for rhythym)
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, 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
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 that you ve been discreet
There were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes and 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 that the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe s still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows, everybody knows
Chorus:
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
That s how it goes and everybody knows
Everybody knows that the plague is comin
Everybody knows it s movin fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are 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
And everybody knows it s comin apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows and everybody knows
Chorus:
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That s how it goes 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
