Everybody Knows (Live in London) Leonard Cohen

[Spoken Intro: Leonard Cohen]
(Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows)

[Verse 1: Leonard Cohen]
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

[Verse 2: Leonard Cohen]
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

[Verse 3: Leonard Cohen, All]
Everybody knows that you love me, baby
Everybody knows you really 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
