Everybody Knows Lyrics

Don Henley Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded 
everybody rolls with their fingers crossed 
everybody knows the war is over 
and everybody knows the good guys lost 
everybody knows the fight was fixed 
the poor stay poor and the rich get rich 
that's how it goes 
and everybody knows 
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking 
everybody knows the captain lied 
everybody got this broken feeling 
that their father or their dog just died 
everybody talkin' to their pockets 
everybody wants a box of chocolates 
and a long stem rose 
and everybody knows 

( chorus ) 
Everybody knows, everybody knows 
that's how it goes, and everybody 

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 
everbody knows that you've been discret 
there were so many people you just had to meet 
without your clothes 
and everybody knows 

Everybody knows that it's now or never 
everybody knows that it's me or you 
everybody knows that you live forever 
when you've done a line or two 
and everybody knows that the deal is rotten 
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton 
for your ribbons and bows 
and everybody knows 

( chorus x2 ) 

Everbody knows that the plaque is comin' 
everybody knows that it's movin' fast 
everybody knows that the naked man and woman 
are just a shining artifact of the past 
everybody knows that the scene is dead, 
but there's gonna be a meter on your bed 
that will disclose, 
what everybody knows 

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 at Malibu 
and everybody knows it's coming apart 
take one last look at this sacred heart 
before it blows, 
and everybody knows 

( chorus )
