Lyrics:
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that 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 do
Everybody knows you've been faithful
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
Everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows it's me or you
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 pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows 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
Everybody knows 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
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

A song for our crazy world that is getting crazier by the day. Leonard was one of the best lyricists of all time. No one on the radio today can match his artistry, a true legend!

[@mischr13]

@@titusmaximus7278 true. it reminds me of the Korean ferry disaster. 300 people, mostly children, dead because the captain was a coward and he lied to them about the danger and told them to stay in place as he fled the ship as it went down. absolutely horrifying

[@TomUlcak]

@@chadquigley227 you're saying that 'greed, deceit, lust, all the natural sins of man'. THIS is NOT human nature. These are unnatural states that humans find themselves living in capitalism. Human nature is cooperative. NOT competitive. You start with a false assumption that capitalism has taught you. An unnatural system and alien to the nature of humans.

[@TomUlcak]

@@chadquigley227 No, if details change the story cannot possibly stay the same. That is nonsensical. Why is there the science of History? Because, the details change. Things change. They do not remain the same. Otherwise, why study history? It would be meaningless. Also, things are not the same everywhere. Where you live, what culture you live in, when you were born: these ensure that things are NOT the same everywhere. Two big misconceptions: 1. Things don't change, 2. things are the same everywhere.

hate this comments, Bach is still relevant, good music or any kind of art will be always relevant for the right ppl

[@andipajeroking]

Relevant? It's a fucking masterpiece. Cohen should have won Nobel prize for literature a long time ago.

[@robin_violin]

relevant /ˈrɛləv(ə)nt/ appropriate to the current time, period, or circumstances; of contemporary interest. Thus, the song is relevant in regards to the current times, especially to occasions and events that occurred in recent years. This commentary was by no means meant to depreciate significance and value of the song nor it was intended to point out that this is a "non-masterpice". Also, I would have to disagree with the opinion concerning involvement of Bach in the argument. I can't really say that I can relate one or another event to Bach, whereas it is applicable to Everybody knows. Hence, it is unreasonable to disturb the name of the great composer trying to make your point of no point. Therefore, next time you'll try to play it cool and smart, think twice. Please.
