Don Henley - Everybody Knows Lyrics
Everybody knows that the dice are loadedEverybody rolls with their fingers crossedEverybody knows the war is overAnd everybody knows the good guys lostEverybody knows the fight was fixedThe poor stay poor and the rich get richThats how it goesAnd everybody knowsEverybody knows that the boat is leakingEverybody knows the captain liedEverybody got this broken feelingThat their father or their dog just diedEverybody talkin to their pocketsEverybody wants a box of chocolatesAnd a long stem roseAnd everybody knows( chorus )Everybody knows, everybody knowsThats how it goes, and everybodyEverybody knows that you love me babyEverybody knows that you really doEverybody knows that youve been faithfulGive or take a night or twoEverbody knows that youve been discretThere were so many people you just had to meetWithout your clothesAnd everybody knowsEverybody knows that its now or neverEverybody knows that its me or youEverybody knows that you live foreverWhen youve done a line or twoAnd everybody knows that the deal is rottenOld black joes still pickin cottonFor your ribbons and bowsAnd everybody knows( chorus x2 )Everbody knows that the plaque is cominEverybody knows that its movin fastEverybody knows that the ***** man and womanAre just a shining artifact of the pastEverybody knows that the scene is dead,But theres gonna be a meter on your bedThat will disclose,What everybody knowsEverybody knows that youre in troubleEverybody knows what youve been throughFrom the bloody cross on top of calvaryTo the beach at malibuAnd everybody knows its coming apartTake one last look at this sacred heartBefore it blows,And everybody knows( chorus )
