Concrete Blonde – Everybody Knows lyrics

Artist: Concrete Blonde
Song: Everybody Knows

Everybody knows the dice are loaded,
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed,
Everybody knows that the war is over,
Everybody knows that the good guys lost,
Everybody knows the fight is fixed,
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich,
That's how it goes,

Everybody knows the boat is sinking,
Everybody knows that the captain lied,
Everybody's got this broken feeling,
Like their momma or their dog just died,
Everybody's hands are in their pockets,
Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long stemmed rose,
Everybody knows,

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That's how it goes,
Everybody knows,

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That's the way it goes,
Everybody knows,

Everybody knows that it's now or never,
Everybody knows that it's me or you,
Everybody knows that you live forever,
Ya maybe had a line or two,
Everybody knows the deal is rotten,
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton for your ribbons and bows,

Everybody knows you love me baby,
Everybody knows that you really do,
Everybody knows that you been faithful,
Give or take a night or two,
Everybody knows you been discreet,
So many people you had to meet without your clothes,
And everybody knows,

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That's the way 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.
