Everybody Knows - Sigrid

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 got

this broken feeling

Like their father

or their dog just died

Everybody talking

to their pockets

Everybody wants

a box of chocolates

And a long-stem rose

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

that you love me baby

Everybody knows

that you really do

Everybody knows

that you’ve been faithful

Oh, give or take a night or two

Everybody knows

you’ve been discreet

But there were so many people

you just had to meet

Without your clothes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

And everybody knows

that it’s now or never

Everybody knows

that it’s me or you

And everybody knows

that you live forever

When you’ve done a line or two

Everybody knows

the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe’s

still picking cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

And everybody knows

that the Plague is coming

Everybody knows

that it’s moving fast

Everybody knows

that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact

of the past

Everybody knows

the scene is dead

But there’s gonna be

a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows

And everybody knows

that you’re in trouble

Everybody knows

what you’ve been through

From the bloody cross

on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows

it’s coming apart

Take one last look

at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

Everybody knows
