Everybody knows

 

 

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded  

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed 

 Everybody knows the war is over 

 Everybody knows the good guys lost  

Everybody knows the fight was fixed  

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich  

That's how it goes  

Everybody knows  

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking 

 Everybody knows that the captain lied  

(...)

Everybody knows the deal is rotten 

 Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton  

For your ribbons and bows  

And everybody knows 

 And everybody knows that the Plague is coming 

(...)

And everybody knows  

Everybody knows, everybody knows 

 That's how it goes 

 Everybody knows 

 Everybody knows, everybody knows 

 That's how it goes 

 Everybody knows Everybody knows, 

everybody knows 

 That's how it goes 

 Everybody knows  

Everybody knows
