(Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson)
|
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
|
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
|
Everybody knows that the war is over
|
Everybody knows the good guys lost
|
Everybody knows 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 died
|
|
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
|
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
|
Ah 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
|
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
|
|
Everybody knows
|

Everybody Knows
