Concrete Blonde, "Everybody Knows"

(as heard in Pump Up The Volume starring Christian Slater as Hard Dick Harry)

Everybody knows the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows 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.
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.
Thats how it goes.
Everybody knows.
Everybody knows that it's now or never, everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever, when you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten, Old Black Joe still pickin' cotton for ribbons and bows
Everybody knows.
Everybody knows you love me baby, everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you been discrete, so many people you had to meet without your clothes
And everybody knows.
Everybody knows.
Everybody knows.
That's the way it goes.
Everybody knows.

(that's love bebeh... that's love...)
