o
"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 the captain lied.
Everybody 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-stemmed rose.
Everybody knows."
– "Everybody Knows," by Leonard Cohen
