Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows (original version)" lyrics

Translation to:elfafrhrhuru

Everybody Knows (original version)

Everybody knows that the dice are loadedEverybody rolls with their fingers crossedEverybody knows that the war is overEverybody knows the good guys lostEverybody knows the fight was fixedThe poor stay poor, the rich get richThat's how it goesEverybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leakingEverybody knows that the captain liedEverybody got this broken feelingLike their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pocketsEverybody wants a box of chocolatesAnd a long stem roseEverybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me babyEverybody knows that you really doEverybody knows that you've been faithfulAh give or take a night or twoEverybody knows you've been discreetBut there were so many people you just had to meetWithout your clothesAnd everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knowsThat's how it goesEverybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knowsThat's how it goesEverybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or neverEverybody knows that it's me or youAnd everybody knows that you live foreverAh when you've done a line or twoEverybody knows the deal is rottenOld Black Joe's still pickin' cottonFor your ribbons and bowsAnd everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is comingEverybody knows that it's moving fastEverybody knows that the naked man and womanAre just a shining artifact of the pastEverybody knows the scene is deadBut there's gonna be a meter on your bedThat will discloseWhat everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in troubleEverybody knows what you've been throughFrom the bloody cross on top of CalvaryTo the beach of MalibuEverybody knows it's coming apartTake one last look at this Sacred HeartBefore it blowsAnd everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knowsThat's how it goesEverybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knowsThat's how it goesEverybody knows

Everybody knows
