Everybody Knows .....

[nhboy]

"Everybody knows that 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 that 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 stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
that’s how it goes
Everybody knows." (L. Cohen)
