Everybody knows that the plague is comin’

Everybody knows the fight was fixed
Everybody knows that you love me, baby
Without your clothes and everybody knows
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Everybody knows that you really do
There were so many people you just had to meet
Everybody knows, everybody knows
When you've done a line or two
Everybody knows, everybody knows

And everybody knows that the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That’s how it goes, everybody knows

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Old Black Joe’s still pickin’ cotton
Everybody knows, everybody knows
For your ribbons and bows, everybody knows
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

Everybody knows that you're in trouble

Give or take a night or two

That’s how it goes, everybody knows
That their father or their dog just died

Everybody got this broken feeling
Everybody knows that it’s me or you
Before it blows and everybody knows
That’s how it goes, everybody knows
That will disclose what everybody knows
That’s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody talkin’ to their pockets
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows that you've been discreet

That’s how it goes, everybody knows
And everybody knows it’s comin' apart
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
Everybody knows it’s movin’ fast
That’s how it goes and everybody knows
Everybody knows that the deal is rotten
And a long stem rose and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Everybody knows that you live forever

Everybody knows what you've been through
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
Everybody knows the captain lied
That’s how it goes and everybody knows
To the beach at Malibu

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That’s how it goes, everybody knows
