Everybody Knows

That�s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows that you've been discreet
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That�s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
That will disclose what everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me, baby
And everybody knows it�s comin' apart
That�s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows what you've been through
That�s how it goes and everybody knows
There were so many people you just had to meet
Everybody knows that it�s now or never
To the beach at Malibu

That�s how it goes, everybody knows

Everybody knows the fight was fixed
Old Black Joe�s still pickin� cotton
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that the plague is comin�

Give or take a night or two

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
Everybody knows that it�s me or you
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
When you've done a line or two
Everybody talkin� to their pockets
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

And everybody knows that the scene is dead
Everybody knows, everybody knows
And a long stem rose and everybody knows
That�s how it goes and everybody knows

That�s how it goes, everybody knows
Without your clothes and everybody knows

Everybody knows that the deal is rotten
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows it�s movin� fast
Before it blows and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Everybody knows that you live forever
Everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows, everybody knows
But there�s gonna be a meter on your bed
Everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
That their father or their dog just died

Everybody knows, everybody knows

Everybody knows the war is over
For your ribbons and bows, everybody knows
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
Everybody got this broken feeling

Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows, everybody knows

Everybody knows the captain lied
