cisEverybody knows that the dice are loaded.
AEverybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
cisEverybody knows the war is over.
AEverybody knows the good guys lost.
fisEveGisrybody knows the fight was fixed:
BThcise poor stay poor, the rich get rich.
AThGisat'ciss how it goes. Everybody knows.

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking.
Everybody knows 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 choc'lates
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,
give or take a night or two.
Everybody knows you've been discret,
But there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes. And everybody knows.

c:Chorus:
EEvBerybody knows. Everybody knows.
cisThaBt's how things goes.
AEvEerybody knows.
EEvBerybody knows. Everybody knows.
cisThaBt's how it goes.
AEvEerybody knows.
And everybody knows that it's now or never.
Everybody knows that's me or you.
And everybody knows that you live forever
when you've done a line or two.
Everybody knows the deal is rotten:
Old black Joe's still picking cotton
for your ribbon and bows. And everybody knows.

Everybody knows that the plague is coming.
Everybody knows that it's moving fast.
Everybody knows that the naked man and the woman
are just ashining artifact of the past.
Everybody knows the scene is dead,
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
that will dis close 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.
