Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows Lyrics
Everybody knows that the dice are loadedEverybody rolls with their fingers crossedEverybody knows that the war is overEverybody knows the good guys lostEverybody knows the fight was fixedThe poor stay poor, the rich get richThats how it goesEverybody knowsEverybody knows that the boat is leakingEverybody knows that the captain liedEverybody got this broken feelingLike their father or their dog just diedEverybody talking to their pocketsEverybody wants a box of chocolatesAnd a long stem roseEverybody knowsEverybody knows that you love me babyEverybody knows that you really doEverybody knows that youve been faithfulAh give or take a night or twoEverybody knows youve been discreetBut there were so many people you just had to meetWithout your clothesAnd everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThats how it goesEverybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThats how it goesEverybody knowsAnd everybody knows that its now or neverEverybody knows that its me or youAnd everybody knows that you live foreverAh when youve done a line or twoEverybody knows the deal is rottenOld black joes still pickin cottonFor your ribbons and bowsAnd everybody knowsAnd everybody knows that the plague is comingEverybody knows that its moving fastEverybody knows that the ***** man and womanAre just a shining artifact of the pastEverybody knows the scene is deadBut theres gonna be a meter on your bedThat will discloseWhat everybody knowsAnd everybody knows that youre in troubleEverybody knows what youve been throughFrom the bloody cross on top of calvaryTo the beach of malibuEverybody knows its coming apartTake one last look at this sacred heartBefore it blowsAnd everybody knowsEverybody knows, everybody knowsThats how it goesEverybody knowsOh everybody knows, everybody knowsThats how it goesEverybody knowsEverybody knows
