Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you really do
And everybody knows
Everybody knows that you live forever

Everybody knows that you been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Like their momma or there dog just died
So many people you had to meet
For ribbons and bows
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows that the good guys lost

That's how it goes
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
That's the way it goes
Old Black Joe still pickin' cotton
Everybody's got this broken feelin'
Everybody knows that it's now or never
That's the way it goes
Everybody wants a box of chocolates

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is sinkin'
Without your clothes and everybody knows
Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Everybody knows
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows you been discrete
