Everybody Wants A Box Of Chocolates

Leonard Cohen : Everybody Knows

everybody knows
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
the boat is leaking
everybody knows
the captain lied
everybody's got
this broken feeling

like their father
or their dog just died
everybody's talking
to their pockets
everybody wants
a box of chocolates
and a long stem rose
everybody knows

--leonard cohen
everybody knows
